NANDI, Kenya Mar 12 \u2013 President William Ruto on Thursday officially commissioned the Emgwen Boma Yangu Estate in Nandi County, marking a milestone in Kenya\u2019s Affordable Housing Programme.<\/p>\n

A total of 120 new homeowners received their keys, while sales for the remaining 100 units continue through the official Boma Yangu portal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The initiative aims to provide decent housing, create employment opportunities, and boost economic growth across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt every corner of our country, the defining feature is the Affordable Housing Project. Some doubted we would build; others said the houses would go to the prominent, but here we are \u2014 the beneficiaries are local people, businessmen, and businesswomen,\u201d President Ruto said during the handover ceremony.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Among the beneficiaries, five are people with disabilities. Paul Koech Limo, who lost his leg in 2009, shared his excitement:<\/p>\n

\u201cI registered on Boma Yangu in 2023 and started saving in 2024. I now own a two-bedroom unit with a toilet, electricity, and running water. This is a game changer for people like me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Similarly, Josephine Chekemboi, an office administrator at Kapsabet Referral Hospital, said the location, security, and proximity to town motivated her decision to join the programme.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI have lived with disability for most of my life, and commuting has been a challenge. This home makes life easier, and I am a living testimony that home ownership is real.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bethuel Limo, a father of two, also expressed gratitude:<\/p>\n

\u201cI was living in a one-bedroom house sharing a toilet, without guaranteed water or electricity. This new home is a great motivation for me and my family.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Ruto encouraged young people to consider affordable housing as a long-term investment, highlighting the dual benefits of home ownership and wealth creation.<\/p>\n

During his tour, President Ruto also laid the foundation stone for the Boma Yangu Chesumei Affordable Housing Project, which will add 1,166 housing units to Kapsabet town.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The development will feature a community center, basketball pitch, garbage collection facilities and 52 shops for small businesses.<\/p>\n

The government aims to provide more accessible housing while creating employment opportunities for youth and women in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur commitment is to ensure every Kenyan has access to a decent home while supporting local economies,\u201d President Ruto said.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The Boma Yangu Housing Programme continues to transform Kenya\u2019s urban landscape, making home ownership a reality for ordinary citizens and fostering sustainable development across the country.<\/p>\n
