President William Ruto has inspected the construction of the 760-unit Manga Affordable Housing Project in Kitutu Masaba Constituency, Nyamira County, as his administration pushes its affordable housing programme.
The President said the Affordable Housing Programme was designed not only to provide decent homes for Kenyan families but also to address the continued subdivision of agricultural land, particularly in densely populated regions.
Ruto noted that uncontrolled subdivision of farmland in areas such as Nyamira could undermine agricultural productivity and threaten long-term food security.
He said the housing programme would help safeguard agricultural land while providing families with affordable accommodation and creating employment opportunities through construction activities.
According to the President, the initiative is part of broader government efforts to balance housing development, agricultural sustainability and economic growth.
The Manga Affordable Housing Project, which comprises 760 housing units, is expected to provide additional housing options for residents while supporting employment and economic activities in Kitutu Masaba and surrounding areas.
Ruto shared details of the inspection in a statement posted on his official social media accounts.
