Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi at the funeral of
the late Malava MP Malulu Injendi in Lugusi, Kakamega County.Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has assured that all homeowners under the affordable housing project will be issued with sectional title deeds.
Mudavadi said the documents will guarantee the homeowners full ownership of their houses.
He said plans are underway and proper measures and policies have been put in place to ensure every Kenyan who acquires a house unit under the programme gets full ownership of the property.
"The Affordable Housing agenda is not just about putting up structures. It is about giving Kenyans a chance to own property and secure their future. The government will be issuing sectional title deeds. It is the same government that gives titles everywhere, so nobody should mislead Kenyans that they will not fully own their units,” said Mudavadi.
He added that it is the government that brought about sectional tittles guaranteeing ownership of the houses under the Affordable Housing initiative
“For the first time, Kenyans benefiting from Affordable Housing will have legal documents proving ownership. These sectional titles will allow families to build generational wealth while ensuring security of tenure," he added.
Mudavadi further assured that the government is fully
committed to ensure the affordable housing agenda transforms the lives of all
Kenyans as enshrined under the Constitution, which states that every person has
the right to accessible and adequate housing.
Mudavadi said other than creating job opportunities and boosting the economy, the affordable housing project is a game changer that will ensure Kenyans at the lower cadre of the economy also have a privilege of owning a house in the near future.
“It is the responsibility of the government of the day to ensure that every Kenyan is entitled to decent shelter. And since it is a constitutional right under the Bill of Rights,” he explained.
Mudavadi called out on those opposing the programme, saying they are misinforming Kenyans who are the target of the initiative.
“When you see slum areas like Kibra and Mukuru Kwa Njenga being transformed as a result of the affordable housing project, then you wonder why some people are so blinded that they don’t want to reason. It becomes so unfortunate to hear someone opposing such great strides” regretted Mudavadi.
Mudavadi said those misleading Kenyans that the ownership of the houses under the programme will not be legitimized are spreading unnecessary fear and should be ignored.
Mudavadi was speaking when he joined President William Ruto at the funeral of the late Malava MP Malulu Injendi in Lugusi, KakamegaCounty.
