We should not politicise everything in this country. It appears we politicise everything when some of the issues are important to Kenyans. I like the way the Government has moved with speed to formalise the housing issue. I have been to many Government institutions. A good example is Langata Women’s Prison. When I went there, officers at Langata Women’s Prisons were living in a tent. I do not know the situation right now. You could get officers sharing space. It was common to get two or three families living in the same room divided with a bed sheet. That is embarrassing! Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this housing issue can help so many Kenyans, especially civil servants at that cadre. I have been to my county where the retired officers live in a deplorable housing situation. With this housing scheme, you will get most of the officers buying houses for themselves and live decently. I do not see the reason this housing issue is being challenged."}
