00:00 The good news is this, 20% of the housing units will be social houses.
00:07 50% will be affordable houses.
00:12 That means the people who earn 20,000 and above, they will have a 50% chance to own houses in our affordable housing program.
00:27 And 30% will be the people in the middle class or the people further up the ladder.
00:33 So, in this affordable housing program, there is a chance for every Kenyan.

00:54 Many people have been asking us, "What happened to your mamamboga? What happened to your boda boda?"
01:00 I want to tell them, our boda boda and our mamamboga are firmly in our equation.
01:08 This program will make it possible for a mamamboga who today pays rent at 3,000 to pay 3,000 and own a home in Kenya.
01:21 It will give a chance to a boda boda guy and every hustler in Kenya who today lives in a shack that has no water,
01:30 that has no electricity, that has no access, that has no sanitation.
01:36 It's going to dignify their lives and they too, like the rest of society, can own a home.
01:46 I'm very happy Meshack is part of our plan as a simple plumber.
01:51 He is also looking forward to owning a home in a decent place like all other Kenyans.
02:01 So, Meshack, I believe you will be prepared for that.
02:04 Amen.
