Cheap to Uhuru; but EXPENSIVE to the Kenyan Taxpayers (since the Early Commencement of Jomo Kenyatta's CORRUPTION Mafia in the 60's snd 70's). No wonder Ulevi na Bangi ndivyo Viboko vyao.

Those houses will ultimately be owned by people who have no business owning them. The gova should tell Kenyans who will buy these houses that is what bracket of income earners and how to avoid others from grabbing these units.
@ mugikuyu.Good point.These so called cheap houses will ve bought by rich tycoonsvwho will in turn rent them at a good profit.Thus denying the "cheap folks" descent housing.Too bad.
Ruto will buy all of them through aliases and lease them out.
ATI NYUMBA LAHISI?DOTO TU.This is the mother of all corruption in Kenya.I hope this milti trillion SCANDAL will sire the much awaited revolution in Kenya.I say this because every worker's(from all tribes) money will be deducted from his salary to fund this FAKE project.Kenyans must wake up to forcefully take back their country from these corrupt devils.It will only fail if it is led by any of the current thugs from both sides.
This is good deal n cheap houses in deed.3bedroom for 2m yaani 20,000$ n pple enslave themselves in the West with mortgages of 180,000$-600,000$ making u a donkey for 30 years???It is truly a good deal for this housing projects??Kenya tuko juu tena juu sana.Guys in majuu u beta send cash for yr relatives to purchase this houses.
Wait a minute;Are you trying to help diasporians or you are working in cahoots with their relatives now. Better yet, calling them(diasporians) donkeys, did I get that right?
This idiot, mkenya halisi, does not understand how an asset earns equity... and he is a ngratuate with 2 ndegrees, as he claims.
Total dismay! cheap, this is a blatant blueprint,coy to blackmail the normal mwananchi who is reeling back from shockers like, contraband sugar, NYS, scandal s
Uhuru
Think to give Diaspora share of these houses we need small thingiras to retire with avoidable payment
