Ruto’s PS Omollo Showcases 1,848 Housing Units Set to Transform Nairobi’s Shauri Moyo Estate

Principal Secretary for Internal Security and National Administration Dr Raymond Omollo has showcased the ongoing Shauri Moyo A Affordable Housing Project in Nairobi, highlighting the Government’s efforts to transform the historic neighbourhood through improved housing and community facilities.

In a statement shared on his official Facebook page, Omollo highlighted how the development is expected to change the lives of residents who have endured difficult living conditions for generations.

The project, situated in Kamukunji, approximately six kilometres from Nairobi’s Central Business District, comprises 1,848 housing units spread across 12 blocks, each rising 14 storeys.

Beyond providing residential apartments, the development incorporates essential facilities designed to create a convenient living environment for future occupants.

These include an Early Childhood Development (ECD) centre, retail shops, a social hall, parking spaces and recreational facilities.

The estate is also expected to be renamed Johana Ng’eno Boma Yangu Estate in honour of the late Emurua Dikirr MP and former chairman of the National Assembly’s Housing Committee.

Omollo noted that the transformation goes beyond constructing houses, with the project also opening economic opportunities for thousands of Kenyans involved in different stages of construction.

Engineers, artisans, suppliers, transport operators and other workers have benefited from the activities, with young people and women also gaining employment opportunities.

The State Department for Internal Security and National Administration has continued supporting the project’s implementation through coordination with other government agencies, community engagement and administrative facilitation to ensure a secure environment for the works.

The development reflects the Government’s Usawa ni Sawa commitment, which seeks to promote fairness, inclusivity and equal access to development opportunities.

For Shauri Moyo residents, the project represents a significant shift from years of housing challenges towards a future built around better accommodation, essential services and improved living standards.
