Members of the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Housing, Urban Planning & Public Works have urged the State Department for Housing & Urban Development to fast-track completion of the ongoing Affordable Housing and Economic Stimulus Program (ESP) market projects in Nairobi County.
Led by the chairperson Hon. Johanna Ng'eno, the Committee inspected South B ESP Modern Market, Mukuru Metereological Social Housing, Shauri Moyo A & B Affordable Housing projects, Jogoo Road Phase 1 Housing project and Riruta Modern ESP Modern Market.
During the visits, the Committee Members raised concerns about the capacity of the social amenities like Schools and Hospitals for the prospective home owners and market traders.
Hon. Ng'eno underscored the need for timely project delivery, noting that contractors have no payment or labour constraints to warrant projects delay.
"You have no challenge of payments nor labour, so these projects should not stall. This Committee expects that you complete the projects in good time," Hon. Ng'eno told the contractors.
While commending the overall progress of projects visited, the Committee observed that the Shauri Moyo Affordable Housing project had initially stalled but has since resumed construction.
According to the State Department for Housing and Urban Development, the delay was caused by a change of Development Model from the Public Private Partnership (PPP) model to the Milestone payment model which equally affected the contractual agreement framework.
The MPs further advised the officials from the State Department to work with the local leaders in identifying nearby schools for expansion to accommodate the upcoming house owners in sites where there is no enough space for developing new schools.
The day's visits are part of the week-long oversight visits to Affordable Housing projects and ESP Markets in Nairobi and Kiambu Counties.
Members of the Committee present during the exercise in addition to the chairperson were: Hon. Kakai Bisau (Kiminini MP), Hon. Joshua Kimilu (Kaiti), Hon. Caleb Mule (Machakos Town) and Hon. Jane Kagiri (Laikipia County MP).
Also present were Dagoretti MP Hon. John Kiarie, the Security team led by the County Commissioner and local residents.
The Committee continues its inspection visits to Projects in Nairobi tomorrow Tuesday 28/10/2025.
