At 39, David Mathu is perhaps one of the youngest CEOs in the country. The professional quantity surveyor (QS) is the CEO of the National Housing Corporation (NHC), which is at the heart of President William Ruto’s affordable housing programme.
He has worked for the government for 14 years, starting as a senior QS before rising the ranks to become the CEO of the corporation that targets to build 110,000 affordable houses in the next five years, about a tenth of the total affordable housing units that President Ruto targets to complete by the end of 2027.
