DAILY POST: Good news for UHURU and his legacy! See the billions that the UN has given him just to achieve his affordable housing plan 05:13

Thursday January 24, 2019 - President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Big Four Agenda that will form his legacy when he retires in 2022 are well on course.

This is after the UN pledged to give Sh64.7 billion to actualize his dream of affordable housing for Kenyans. Through the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) and its partners, the UN pledged to construct at least 100, 000 units across the country. The affordable housing agreement between Kenya and UNOPS is part of the UN agency’s Social Impact Investment Initiative (S3i). The programme seeks to underline the UN’s commitment to fostering innovative financing for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). UNOPS Executive Director, Grete Faremo, noted that the needs of local communities would be a key priority of the project. The 100,000 houses are to be built using green technologies and energy efficient solar rooftops.
