Kenya's Housing Program Sparks Political Clash.
Environment Minister Aden Duale challenged former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's criticism of the national housing initiative on Thursday.
Duale shared an earlier video showing Gachagua supporting the same program he opposes today. "It saddens me to see former supporters turn against this program," Duale said.
The minister defended the Affordable Housing Programme as vital for Kenya's future. He accused critics of harming public interests. "These actions betray the people they claim to serve," he stated.
The government plans to counter opposition to the housing project, Duale announced. He called it "a beacon of hope" for millions of Kenyans.
"Political games must end. People's needs come first," the minister declared. He asked all leaders to back projects serving the nation's interests.
The housing program aims to create homes and jobs for Kenyans. "Every citizen deserves shelter and a chance to work," Duale said.
After leaving office, Gachagua stepped up his criticism. At Monday's DAP-K headquarters launch in Nairobi, he alleged corruption in the project. "I thought this created jobs until I learned otherwise," he claimed.
The former deputy president promised to end the housing levy under new leadership. He said this would "restore dignity" to workers' pay.
The exchange highlights growing tensions between government officials and opposition leaders over national development programs.
