President William Ruto has said that those opposing the Housing project just want to please their audiences.
Speaking on Tuesday, Ruto said the government's competitors are not against Housing.
"Sometimes these statements we see from our competitors against Housing, it is not that they are against Housing. It is just that they have an audience there they have an audience there they have to tell something," he said.
The President has consistently urged the Members of Parliament to back the Affordable Housing Bill, 2023 when it comes up in Parliament.
He said that Kenyans who are unemployed are waiting for the Bill to be passed in Parliament.
"I want to tell the Members of Parliament that they should pass the Housing Bill, the one the court asked us to pass. By Tuesday, we are supposed to have finished so that the unemployed youths get jobs. The MPs should pass the Housing Bill early in the morning and they should not ask questions," he spoke on Friday.
In January, the National Assembly's joint committee on Finance and National Planning and Housing and Urban Planning concluded public hearings on the affordable housing bill.
The bill sponsored by Majority leader Kimani Ichung'wah seeks to provide a legal framework for the establishment Affordable Housing Fund and give effect to the right to accessible and adequate housing as provided for in the Constitution.
In January, the Court of Appeal declined to suspend orders barring the state from deducting housing levy from Kenyans.
