Ruto's Madaraka Day Speech: 11,000 Affordable Homes Ready

Kenya's Madaraka Day: Ruto Announces Affordable Housing Milestone Homa Bay, Kenya – President William Ruto addressed the nation on Madaraka Day, celebrating 62 years of internal self-rule. His speech, delivered in Homa Bay, focused heavily on the government's commitment to its 'bottom-up' economic approach. A key highlight was the announcement of a significant achievement in the affordable housing program. "We are firmly on course to delivering 150,000 housing units under the affordable housing program," President Ruto declared. He emphasized that 11,000 of these units are already complete and ready for allocation to new homeowners across several counties. This announcement marks a substantial step forward for the initiative, which has faced challenges and skepticism. The president's confident tone and the visual evidence of the completed housing units in the video provide a powerful message of progress. The distribution of these units across various counties suggests a nationwide effort to address housing needs. The Madaraka Day celebrations, themed around the blue economy and maritime affairs, provided a fitting backdrop for the president to showcase the government's achievements and outline its future plans. The successful completion of a portion of the affordable housing project offers a positive symbol of progress for Kenya.
