LETTERS: Remove land hurdle to house all Kenyans

An estimated 13 million Kenyans live in cities and towns. Kenya’s urban population is swelling rapidly. Yet, more than 70 percent of urban residents in Kenya live in informal settlements.

Rapid urbanisation has put pressure on housing in many cities and towns. This has resulted in proliferation of slums, thus raising pertinent questions about the sustainability of our urban centres. What is needed is a sustainable housing strategy to enable more Kenyans access to good housing.
