President Ruto yesterday, Tuesday handed over keys to 1080 social housing units at Mukuru Housing Estate and a section of photos showed the interior of the housing units.
However, it has now emerged that the cost of furnishing of the housing units is not included in the amount paid as rent for the respective units.
Speaking to Citizen TV today morning, MP Johanna Ng’ eno (Chair of Housing and Urban Planning Committee) revealed that those interested in owning the new housing units are allowed to chose whether they want the house furnished or not.
Owner who wants his/her house fully furnished will be required to pay an additional KES 200 every month on top of the rent for a period until the amount used to fully furnish the housing unit is totally covered.
“If you want your house fully furnished then you’ll have to add an addition of f Ksh. 200 on top of what you are pay a month depending on the amount of furniture that you put in your house. You do the calculations, if it is furniture that cost around KES 10,000 or 15,000 you just do the math until you complete it.” MP Johanna Ng’eno explained.
