Housing and Urban Development PS Charles Hinga has said Government is committed to supporting Counties in planning their Cities and facilitating projects that fall under its mandate.
"The Department has a direct link with Counties as far as rolling out projects is concerned, we are committed to enhancing service delivery for wananchi," he said.
He also lauded County Governments that have availed land for the affordable housing programme saying Siaya has committed to set aside 6 acres for the same.
"We have agreed to improve partnerships with Siaya County, we also discussed the economic stimulus project support as well as ongoing works such as rehabilitation of access roads, and sewer lines among others," he said.
Hinga said a team from the Housing Department has already been dispatched to various Counties to follow up on the affordable housing programme.
Hinga was speaking in his office during a meeting with Siaya Governor James Orengo who had paid him a courtesy call.
The meeting comes ahead of the planned ground-breaking ceremony for the Affordable Housing programme in Homabay County as well as the commissioning of the Homabay municipal market on Friday by President William Ruto.
The President is also expected to tour Siaya County on Saturday for the homecoming of ICT CS Eliud Owalo in the Asembo Rarieda constituency
