    "content": "include affordable houses, which are the normal low-cost housing. The other category is institutional housing. Remember that police officers, the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), prison wardens and all officers who work in our public institutions live in deplorable houses. Funds will be allocated towards institutional housing. You will remember that most of our universities do not have enough money to build student hostels. Many people proposed that we allocate part of this money towards building hostels so that they are accessible to students wherever they are at a cheaper rate. The other category of housing proposed was social housing. This includes the upgrade of slums to help move people to better houses through the social housing programme. People also proposed to allocate money to county governments. The issue of county governments arose in every public meeting that we had. It became apparent that county governments are amongst the institutions that should receive funds for housing. The board will also be given that responsibility. This is because people asked how the board will get back the money after allocating it to institutions like the National Housing Corporation (NHC), state departments, county governments and other agencies, since it has to be utilised like a revolving fund. They also wanted to know where the money will be taken after the houses are sold. Will it remain with the NHC or will it remain with other agencies? People recommended that after the houses have been built and offtake undertaken, the money should revert to the fund so that it can be used to build other houses."
