President William Ruto has officially handed over keys to 176 new homeowners at the completed Machakos Boma Yangu Estate. The event marked the successful allocation of housing units purchased through the Boma Yangu platform.
The estate, which includes 220 units across various categories from studio to three-bedroom apartments, is designed for social integration across income levels. Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome highlighted its proximity to key institutions and noted that its construction created over 450 jobs. She added that 39 local artisans received formal certification through the project. The Acting CEO of the Affordable Housing Board, Sheila Waweru, encouraged more Kenyans to register on the platform to save for a home.
During the ceremony, President Ruto also launched Phase Two of the development, which plans to construct 570 additional units. This next phase is expected to generate daily employment for more than 500 workers and will include amenities such as a clubhouse, a school, and a shopping mall.
