The National Treasury has cut Sh13.6 billion in funding for construction of social halls, affordable houses, and slum upgrades in its newly tabled mini-budget for the current financial year ending June 30, 2025.
The State Department for Housing’s development budget for the Affordable Housing programme and slum upgrading initiatives was chopped from Sh85.2 billion to Sh71.6 billion in the current financial year on account of less donor funding received.
