    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my Ministry, in collaboration with the Ministry of Local Government, is undertaking a housing re- development programme, especially in Eastlands, Nairobi, where we intend to construct residential houses whose surface area will be very limited in relation to what exists today. We, as a Ministry, are trying to go upwards as opposed to the four-floor rule that the City Council has been applying. In fact, if you go to Ngara where we have done the first phase of residential houses they go beyond five floors; we have gone up to 15 floors. We intend to utilize this approach in east lands and go up to 35 or 40 floors. Using this kind of approach, we will house more people in very small areas. On the issue of the land that will be used for this programme, we are using the land that is currently occupied by those small units, most of which belong to the City Council and the Kenya Government through the Ministry of Housing."
