Housing Sector
The Government allocated over Ksh. 4 billion this financial year to the construction of Government buildings and completion of stalled ones. Towards this end, 32 stalled housing projects are being revived. These include the Nyanza Provincial Headquarters which stalled in 1991, and several health facilities spread countrywide.
Notably, the government is spending Ksh.525 million to construct staff housing projects for police officers within Nairobi and upgrading slums to better 'wananchi's lives.
The past three years of the Kibaki administration can be described as a major turning point in the roads sector and building sectors. Significant gains have been achieved in project implementation as a result of enhanced funding by the Government and development partners. As a result of the introduction of performance contracting in the public sector, efficiency in projects implementation, among other services, has been greatly enhanced. Demonstrable political will has been critical in overseeing reform initiatives in the sector, too.
