The President handed over keys to 2,157 homeowners at the Pioneer Affordable Housing Project in Eldoret City, Uasin Gishu County.

The project is said to have cost a whopping KSh5.3 billion to create an entire estate.

Among the features it boosts are 104 shops, a kindergarten, playgrounds, green open spaces, a clubhouse and a swimming pool.

“The estate will also include a junior school, two basketball courts and a football pitch, creating a well-planned community where residents can live, work and play,” the president said in a Facebook post.

The project directly injected Ksh3.8billon to local Jua Kali artisans, with KSh264 million going to 84 Jua Kali associations in Eldoret. Across the North Rift.

We have also incorporated art into the Affordable Housing Programme, engaging local artists, including painters, to beautify the buildings, creating jobs and supporting the creative economy.
