Cabinet approves Sh15bn for city slum housing project
Mukuru-Kaiyaba slum residents salvage valuables after fire destroyed their houses in 2016. The Cabinet has approved Sh15 billion to construct 13,000 housing units in the area.

Mukuru was declared a special planning area in 2018 by City Hall, suspending any development in the area for two years.
Sh56 million was set aside for the pilot project, with Sh20 million for planning facilitation and Sh36 million for land surveying, registration, roads and sewers.
The informal settlement of Mukuru is set for a major facelift as the national government prepares to put up 13,000 housing units in the area.
