President William Ruto has promised to transform the Kibera slum into a better estate with proper sanitation and housing.
Speaking during his tour of Nairobi County on Thursday, March 13, 2025, Ruto also revealed that he would ensure that the neighbouring Lang’ata constituency will also not be left behind in his transformation agenda.
“Kibera and Lang’ata will cease to be slums to become estates. I have come here to launch the affordable housing units here. With these houses, you shall pay the equivalent rent you are currently parting with and still be able to own the house”
Ruto also promised to sponsor 170 students from poor backgrounds to a school launched in the Ngong area, noting that the area MPs will also sponsor five students each.
“I will sponsor 170 students to this school while your MPs will sponsor five other students each to learn in this school”
The head of state also promised to build 10 more classrooms in the Kibra constituency and construct a Ksh500 million market in the area.
