    This housing project has been sold to us as a stimulus to generate jobs. However once the house is built the job dissappears like happened on the SGR.
    But if factories for agriprocessing were built instead, the jobs would never end.

    Daktari is making it simple and clear. Eric wacha siasa mingi.
    I pay the housing levy because it is compulsory. I will demand my house to be at Katikomu Village in Mbooni East sub-county, where I live.

    Bwana Latif...😅 There's a process & procedures to utilise public land.... Ruto's law takes public land & turns it into private land for individual gain not public good irregularly. General taxes PAYE is for use for public good... that road in Nakuru, Mombasa, kiambu etc is owned by all Kenyans not an individual ... The houses built will not be enough units to cater for all those who will pay the housing levy.

    There's a difference between affordable and social housing. The latter if implemented will reduce informal settlements by renting the houses at the same rates as the informal settlement. However the houses must be owned by the county and never sold. This will allow them to be torn down and rebuilt in the future without incurring additional costs of compulsory acquisition.

    Bwana Eric Daktari makes very good points. General taxes PAYE after collection are divided to support different sectors of the economy including education for public good, there is no specific education tax on kenyans on the other hand housing levy is a public charge specific to housing for private benefit! Eric there lies the difference stop confusing issues

    Eric Latif; in this conversation we have to know there is a difference between common good/ Public good and private good. Public good is where schools and roads are categorised. therefore, allocating funds to build them is allowable under the law. The government cannot purport to tax kenyan to build more schools, and then those schools will be bought and run by individuals. if they do so, those schools cease to be come public. The analogy is the same with the housing as the government is trying to do.

    • @kennedyndundu7788

      The government tax us for certain individual benefits all the time. Nothing special with housing. By your reasoning, I should not be taxed to to pay for pupils capitation if I dont have kids. Tax me to build the schools for the greater good, then let every parent pay for their kids learning. . I shouldn't be taxed to pay for elderly monthly stipend, yet it's not benefitting me personally. Or free maternity care when I aint giving birth. Why should my taxes go to help flood victims when I'm personally okay? Let everyone pay their own private health insurance. Why should the government tax me for that, when I may never need it?

Then that should be universal, and not just housing specific. Why should I pay for your kids school fees?

    Affordable houses should be left for counties to gain revenues and no one should own them. Those affordable houses should remain for public/ social to help those work in public, or social settings in Government instead of paying house allowances to workers.

Like in Western countries the government build affordable cheap houses for low classes people have better plan of alocation whereby no interest of eying where they can enriching themselves from such programs through taxing salaries by force to do whats not their immediate interest Why not go and build these units to the poor in Kibira which is the biggest ghetto in Kenya change their style of affordable with minimal payments if you are sincere and so mindful of helping with these houses of yours.
