Non-salaried workers are set to access subsidised mortgages of up to Sh6 million under a State-backed scheme that covers nearly half of the credit in the event of default.

A newly formed firm, Kenya Mortgage Guarantee Trust (KMGT), will repay up to 40 percent of defaulted mortgages, with lenders shouldering the remainder of the risk.
