"The law will compel their employer to also contribute 3 percent to Housing Kitty," President Ruto. 

President William Ruto has said the government will further strengthen the Housing Fund to help more Kenyans purchase affordable housing units.

Speaking during a church service on Sunday, April 24, the President said as the government rolls out the affordable housing program, there must be a solid plan aimed at addressing the financing of low-income earners to consume the units.

The President stated that Kenyans would now be contributing 3 percent of their income and kick start their journey of owning a house.

"We have a housing fund and we want every Kenyan to contribute 3% of their income or salary. The law will compel their employer to also contribute 3 percent to Housing Kitty," the Head of State said.

President Ruto noted that the government's plan of increasing members' contributions to the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) has helped the country increase its savings.

"In just two months, we have doubled the amount of money that we are saving as a country," he stated. 

Ruto added that the government is also working with the county government of Nairobi to clean and make the city green.

"We are not only going to clean the city of Nairobi, but we are also going to generate electricity out of the refuse of the city," he stated. 

The Head of State assured Nairobi residents that the government will increase the number of affordable housing units to ensure they live in decent houses.
