The government has set up a portal for Kenyans to submit queries on affordable housing.
State Department for Housing and Urban Development Principal Secretary Charles Hinga on Tuesday unveiled the portal, https://bomayangu.go.ke/frequently-asked-questions.
"On affordable housing, if you have any queries, kindly click on this page. Perhaps you’ll get an answer through the frequently asked questions tab," he said.
Another option, according to the PS, is by writing directly to the department. He assured the public they will get a response.
President William Ruto proposed the formation of the Housing Fund, saying all salaried Kenyans will have to make a compulsory monthly contribution equivalent to three per cent of their gross pay.
The President said the employer will make an equal contribution towards the fund under the affordable housing project which he later clarified is not a form of tax.
It has since received strong opposition from civil servants and Azimio la Umoja leaders who have faulted the President on the model of the fund.
Led by Raila Odinga, the leaders said some Kenyans already own houses and do not need to be forced to make contributions towards the Housing Fund.
President Ruto plans to deliver 200,000 affordable housing units annually to Kenyans.
