NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 6 \u2014 President William Ruto has ordered the renaming of Nairobi\u2019s Shauri Moyo Affordable Housing Estate to Johanna Ng\u2019eno Estate, following a recommendation by the National Assembly Housing Committee the late MP chaired.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The President said the decision honours the late Emurua Dikirr MP Johanna Ng\u2019eno for his role in championing the government\u2019s affordable housing programme while serving as chairperson of the parliamentary housing committee.<\/p>\n

Ruto directed the Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning to effect the change, noting that the project\u2014one of the largest affordable housing developments in Nairobi\u2014will now be known as Johanna Ng\u2019eno Boma Yangu Estate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am directing the Ministry of Housing to rename Shaurimoyo housing estate to Johanna Ng\u2019eno Boma Yangu Estate in respect of the good work and efforts that he did as the chairman,\u201d the President announced on Friday.<\/p>\n

Critical role<\/h2>\n

Speaking during Ng\u2019eno\u2019s funeral service in Dikirr, Narok County, Ruto credited the late lawmaker with playing a critical role in advancing the affordable housing agenda, which he said had remained an unrealised ambition for three decades.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have tried for 30 years, but we have not succeeded. Today, we have succeeded,\u201d Ruto said.<\/p>\n

He added that the move to rename the estate followed a request from members of the parliamentary housing committee who served under Ng\u2019eno.<\/p>\n

The President recalled that he worked closely with the MP in shaping the housing programme and praised his dedication and determination in steering the committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonourable Ng\u2019eno was very passionate about what he did, and he never did half measures,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ruto also revealed that he deliberately chose Ng\u2019eno to chair the Housing Committee when constituting parliamentary committees because he believed the legislator had the resolve required to oversee the ambitious programme.<\/p>\n

\u201cHousing was one of the most difficult assignments I have undertaken as President. It has tested my resilience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The President further noted that the committee\u2019s role in anchoring the affordable housing programme would be permanently documented in his personal reflections on leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen finally I write my memoirs, the members of the housing committee in Parliament will have a chapter,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n

Ng\u2019eno was widely credited for pushing legislative and oversight efforts that helped advance the government\u2019s affordable housing agenda under the Boma Yangu programme.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
