Raymond Omollo Shares Update on KSh Affordable Housing Project in Awendo

Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo has provided an update on the progress of the Awendo Affordable Housing Project in Migori County, highlighting the government’s efforts to improve housing and stimulate economic development in the region.

The project, which was officially launched by President William Ruto in August 2025, is part of the government’s broader plan to transform towns within the Sugar Belt by investing in affordable housing, infrastructure and the revival of struggling industries.

According to Omollo, the development will comprise 293 housing units spread across two modern high-rise residential blocks standing 14 and 15 floors respectively.

The project is also designed to provide more than residential accommodation, with several facilities expected to improve the quality of life for future residents and the surrounding community.

Among the planned amenities are commercial shops, a community centre, a playground, landscaped recreational spaces and essential utility services.

Once completed, the development is expected to help address the growing demand for affordable housing while positioning Awendo for increased economic activity.

Beyond the construction of residential units, the project is also creating employment opportunities, particularly for young people and local residents.

Omollo noted that trainees are gaining practical construction experience through the development, allowing them to acquire valuable technical skills that could help them pursue professional certification and secure employment in the construction industry.

The government is also working with local communities through administrative structures to promote security and effective coordination during the implementation of development projects.

The Awendo Affordable Housing Project is among several government initiatives targeting the transformation of towns across the Sugar Belt, with the ultimate goal of improving living standards, creating jobs and supporting sustainable economic growth.

Its completion is expected to give Awendo a modern residential and commercial boost.
