    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. It is very unfortunate that we are basing these very strong negative comments on some unfortunate incidents that happened on a pilot project because Buxton Housing was a pilot project. It would be a crime for someone to say just because they have seen one challenge here and there--- It is good the House of oversight, the Senate, is highlighting some of the things that went wrong. What we need to do now is to ensure that going forward, a good project is not going to be ruined by cartels. Affordable housing has already started creating jobs for the youth. It is not just about the housing. It is about all the jobs that are created on those projects. It is also about the fact that we are trying to solve the issue of non-employment and win in terms of affordable housing. When you look at the Jua Kali Sector, those people are not complaining because it is through affordable housing that, finally, there is a Government that is recognizing their skills and giving them work in terms of mass production of things such as windows, hinges, et cetera . Just because there are a few people who are trying to take advantage of a very good programme, I think that should not be the reason we shut it down. People should know that the reason the Kenya Kwanza Government started this is the creation of jobs and to push our Jua Kali Sector as we are dealing with a lack of affordable housing. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
