    "content": "I do not want to deliberate on the cost of building in this country. It is important for the Government to start thinking on how it can formulate a policy where funds can be available at very cheap rates to the mwananchi . If you look at the current trend, some private investors are making major kills by building some housing units and then selling them at very unaffordable prices. At some point, you find so many people at the end of the day are unable to pay, and these houses are repossessed. The Minority Whip has said: “My house my life”. That is what we think of. That is the direction that we need to take. The National Housing Corporation (NHC) has been bestowed this responsibility. I was a member of Nakuru Municipality. The last time NHC ever built a house in Nakuru was in the 1940s. In fact, they came to collect the few shillings that they were... They have basically done nothing. It is high time we look at the NHC and their objectives to see whether they are articulated and implemented. It has been a very big let-down. It has not lived to the expectations of what they were meant to do."
