    "content": "Land in Kenya and urban areas has become extremely expensive to the rural poor to acquire causing sprouting slums. A very big percentage of city dwellers, especially in Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, Nakuru, and Eldoret are living in slums. That means that they cannot afford to live in modern houses as specified in the Constitution. Nairobi has the biggest slum in East and Central Africa called Kibera. Up to date, there have been many efforts to ensure that we upgrade those slums, but we have had many challenges to the extent that currently, many people are still living in those slums. There are many other slums in Nairobi. Those people live in very deplorable conditions. There is no proper sewerage system, no water, no electricity, no roads, no schools, no toilets and many other things. That phenomenon is spreading to rural areas and is threatening to turn our rural areas into slum cities. We used to think that only Nairobi has slums. Currently, slums are now coming up in our villages. Slums are coming up closer to our cities, towns and urban areas."
