“It Doesn’t Matter ” David Ndii Reacts After Kenyans Raises Concerns Over Affordable Housing Program

David Ndii has addressed public concerns regarding the Affordable Housing Program. In a social media statement, Ndii clarified that the initiative is not designed exclusively for the poor.

He explained that the main objective is to ensure quality housing becomes affordable for all citizens. He also sought to correct what he described as distortions regarding urban settlements.

Ndii pointed out that many people incorrectly equate slums with informal settlements. He specifically named areas like Pipeline and Zimmerman as examples of slums. He affirmed that the government intends to eradicate all such slums.

This clarification came in response to a critic who questioned the program logic. The user asked who exactly the housing is meant for if it excludes the poor, noting that the poor are the primary residents of slum areas.

Ndii also shared a graphic detailing housing typologies. The chart categorizes housing into social, affordable, and market rate segments based on monthly income.

Social housing targets lower income earners, while affordable housing serves middle income brackets. The market rate tier is designed for higher income earners.
