Section 59(3) of the Affordable Housing Act, 2024 provides that the Cabinet Secretary shall table before Parliament, Regulations made under this section within thirty (30) days of commencement of the Act. In this regard, and as part of the processing of the envisaged Regulations; the Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development submitted to the National Assembly the Draft Affordable Housing Regulations 2024 on Friday 26th April 2024. I hasten to note that the Ministry has had engagements with various stakeholders on the Draft Regulations as part of public participation in line with the Statutory Instruments Act, Cap 2A. Hon. Members, noting the centrality of the Regulations to the full implementation of the Affordable Housing Programme, and pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 210(2), I hereby refer the Draft Affordable Housing Regulations 2024 to the Committee on Delegated Legislation for consideration. Hon. Members, while appreciating that matters of affordable housing concern county governments in accordance with Article 110 of the Constitution, I direct the Committee to sit jointly with the Senate Committee on Delegated Legislation to consider the Draft Regulations. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"
