President William Ruto gave residents two extra days to sign up for new homes. More than 10,000 people have put their names on the list for houses at Soweto B. The registration was supposed to end Saturday, but continues through Monday. People who register receive special Makao Bora cards as proof they signed up. These cards will help them get houses when the project finishes.
Ruto visited the building site on Friday and promised that families will move into their new homes in May 2026. He plans to push the building company to work faster and finish earlier. The president wants to remove the slum rather than fix it up completely. Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja and Langata MP Phelix Odiwuor joined Ruto for the visit. The president also announced plans to start building Soweto C and D housing sections.
The project began construction in October 2022 and will create 4,054 new homes. Workers will finish all the buildings in January 2026 across 18 separate blocks. The development includes roads, water systems, and other basic services for residents. This housing project joins 112,405 other units being built around Kenya. Ruto has visited the construction site three times to check on progress.
