President William Ruto started a major housing project back during September 2023. The development sits where Majengo used to be an informal settlement. Workers have finished about 88 percent of the construction work. Omollo checked the site and found crews busy with final tasks. They are putting up retaining walls and working on electrical systems.
The project helps solve Kenya's housing problems as part of Ruto's economic plan. Majengo will have better living conditions when construction ends. The development should bring more business to Vihiga Constituency. Nine apartment blocks will house 220 modern units total. Different families can choose from various apartment sizes.
The smallest units are bedsitters with 60 spaces available. One-bedroom apartments make up 20 units for couples. Two-bedroom homes offer 100 units for growing families. Three-bedroom apartments provide 40 spacious units for larger households. Young people learn construction skills during the building process.
Construction teams teach electrical work and welding to local youth. These skills help workers find jobs after the project finishes. About 220 people currently work at the Majengo site. Both men and women earn money from the construction jobs. The project creates economic opportunities for many families.
Omollo also talked about another housing development happening elsewhere. Eldoret has a similar project that reached 82 percent completion. That site also employs 220 workers across nine residential blocks. Both projects offer different apartment types to meet family needs.
