Further, he has asked MPs not to bow to pressure from the Opposition to vote against the people's interests.

“They are opposing the employment of the youth and Housing Plan that will give Kenyans decent and affordable homes,” he said.

The President said the Government will implement the housing project to expand economic opportunities in the country.

“The housing project will enhance the growth of manufacturing industries like cement and steel, boost hardware businesses and create jobs,” he said.

On his part, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua said the beneficiaries of the Housing Fund will be ordinary people.

“This project will deliver decent housing units for low-income earners at affordable rates,” he said.
