    "content": "Yes, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is a very firm commitment on the part of the Government to try and address the issue of housing not just in Nairobi but in all other urban areas as well. I remember very well what the Prime Minister said when he was the Minister for Roads, Public Works and Housing. He said that there existed a shortage of housing in Nairobi and our other urban areas to the tune of 150,000 housing units. He did not say he was going to put up 100,000 housing units. However, we are trying to see if the existing shortage of 150,000 units can be addressed through a series of interventions including public private partnerships with locals and foreign investors through Treasury allocations and offering incentives to local developers just to see if that gap can be sealed and also if we can bring down the rents through adequate supply."
