PS Charles Hinga stated that the current 1.5 percent housing levy is inadequate to meet the annual target of 200,000 units. The levy, which is collected monthly, brings in around Sh6 billion, yet this amount is not enough to finance the government’s housing initiatives. Hinga emphasized the need for increased revenue to meet the housing demand. The housing levy is a key source of funding for affordable housing projects across the country. However, the shortfall highlights challenges in meeting the housing needs of a growing population. The government is exploring ways to boost funding for housing development.
