Those houses will ultimately be owned by people who have no business owning them. The gova should tell Kenyans who will buy these houses that is what bracket of income earners and how to avoid others from grabbing these units.

ATI NYUMBA LAHISI?DOTO TU.This is the mother of all corruption in Kenya.I hope this milti trillion SCANDAL will sire the much awaited revolution in Kenya.I say this because every worker's(from all tribes) money will be deducted from his salary to fund this FAKE project.Kenyans must wake up to forcefully take back their country from these corrupt devils.It will only fail if it is led by any of the current thugs from both sides.
