President William Ruto is expected to launch affordable housing project in Kibra's Soweto B Nairobi.
This will be the first time Ruto will be in Kibra after winning the presidential elections.
"Next week on Tuesday, I will break ground in Kibra Soweto B for a housing project which will deliver thousands on housing units,"Ruto said on Thursday.
Kibra is considered as former Prime Minister Raila Odinga's backyard.
He has received massive support in this area since he started vying for the presidency over the years.
According to Housing PS Charles Hinga, Soweto B will be the biggest social housing project undertaken in an informal settlement.
The project is part of the planned upgrade of the slum which has been divided into four zones and is being spearheaded by the Ministry of Housing.
Zone B where 5,000 affordable housing units will be constructed.
The first phase of the project included Zone A which was completed in 2016.
Speaking at the Mashujaa Day celebrations, Ruto said his government was keen in making affordable houses to Kenyans.
"Going forward we intend to collaborate with county governments to achieve a target of 500,000 in metropolitan counties," he said .
