Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to ensuring full ownership rights for beneficiaries of the Affordable Housing Project. Speaking at the funeral of Malava MP Malulu Injendi in Lugusi, Kakamega County, Mudavadi assured Kenyans that sectional title deeds would be issued to all homeowners under the initiative, securing their property rights.
Mudavadi emphasized that the Affordable Housing agenda aligns with Article 43 (1)(b) of the Kenyan Constitution, which guarantees every citizen the right to accessible and adequate housing. He dismissed concerns raised by critics, reiterating that the government has put in place legal frameworks to ensure beneficiaries receive legitimate homeownership documents.
“The Affordable Housing agenda is not just about putting up structures; it is about giving Kenyans a chance to own property and secure their future. The government will be issuing sectional title deeds, and it is the government of Kenya that gives titles everywhere, so nobody should mislead Kenyans that they will not fully own their units,” he stated.
Mudavadi criticized those opposing the initiative, accusing them of spreading misinformation to create unnecessary fear among potential beneficiaries. He cited ongoing housing transformations in areas such as Kibra and Mukuru Kwa Njenga as evidence of the program’s impact, urging Kenyans to take advantage of the opportunity.
Beyond homeownership, Mudavadi highlighted the project’s economic benefits, including job creation, empowerment of local contractors, and modernization of housing infrastructure in counties such as Kakamega. He encouraged residents to embrace the initiative, noting its potential to uplift communities.
Turning to the legacy of the late Malulu Injendi, Mudavadi praised his dedication to development, particularly in education, where Malava recorded the highest number of university student enrollments in Kakamega County. He assured residents that the government would complete projects initiated by the late MP.
“Malulu was a leader with a vision. His commitment to development was unwavering, and we must honor him by ensuring that his unfinished projects do not stall,” he said.
Mudavadi also acknowledged Malava’s strong support for his 2013 presidential bid, promising continued collaboration with the region in its development journey.
