Bondeni slums in Nakuru is set to undergo a major facelift after the government embarked on the construction of a multi-million housing project to be sold to Kenyans.
Housing Principal Secretary Charles Hinga accompanied by Governor Lee Kinyanjui yesterday laid the foundation stone for the 605 housing units in the low income establishment.
“This is the first affordable housing project outside Nairobi where success has been registered. The project will be completed in the next 30 months and sold to residents at subsidised cost,” said Hinga.
