@IanECox I have a flight with eithad on the 1st 💀 you think we’ll make it that far ?

@RichkiddWizzy What an idiot, bodas are notoriously known for breaking the law , including riding on pedestrians walkways and wrong side, wouldn’t be surprised if this was the case here .

[Mwenda @MwendaKev]

The government is doing this one thing right. Godspeed! 🙏🏿 Having Dar Al-Handasah Consultants audit the work at every milestone is a solid step towards transparency and quality control.

[J-Ombasa @JayPapstar]

@PSCharlesHinga some fodder for your thoughts here. While the affordable housing is fantastic & lifts up a thousands of Kenyans, it doesn’t address middle income earners who want larger spaces, better quality finishes @ fair prices. Enable the private sector to fill this niche👇🏾

[Tim Kipchumba @TimKipchumba]

Interesting. I have a slightly different view.

I don’t think the biggest bottleneck is developers. I think it’s land, infrastructure, and long-term capital.

Everyone in the industry understands these constraints. In fact, this is what many of us hoped the Affordable Housing Programme would unlock: making it possible for someone earning KES 100,000 per month to spend KES 30,000 over 15 years at 8% and buy a decent 100 sqm, 3-bedroom home worth about KES 4 million, with a modest deposit.

The next phase of the Affordable Housing Fund could focus on enabling the market rather than replacing it by:

• Financing trunk infrastructure—roads, water, sewerage, power and other enabling infrastructure that unlocks housing, industry and entire new communities.
• Creating practical land banking solutions that reduce the cost and complexity of development.
• Fast-tracking permitting and approvals for large-scale projects.
• Expanding access to long-term, affordable finance through institutions like KMRC, or an enhanced version of that model.

This approach lets the private sector do what it does best: build the right products, in the right locations, for the right market. Government’s role becomes one of removing the structural constraints that prevent housing from being delivered at scale.

Publicly developed housing should then increasingly focus on what the market is least able to provide: dignified social housing for the most vulnerable.

I still believe this is the strongest direction for the next chapter of Kenya’s Affordable Housing Fund.

Heavy on the quality! The Chinese contractors need to deliver exactly what Dar designed . If it’s not in the renders we don’t want it

[KERUI @anthony_kerui]

JKIA just got its engineer-consultant.
Kenya signed Dar Al-Handasah (world's #1 airport design firm, 300 airports across 6 continents) as engineer-consultant for the Ksh154.2B JKIA modernisation.
CRBC builds. Dar certifies design, cost, and quality against the contract.
Classic EPC + independent engineer split — the same discipline that keeps a construction claim honest anywhere in the world.
Target: 22M pax by 2045. New terminal. Airport City + SEZ on the cards.
Three years to delivery. Watch the certificates, not just the ribbon-cutting.

@truesignalnews These bodas should be outlawed. They are honestly more trouble than they are worth .

@kijana_misa This is heart wrenching. I can’t imagine how those parents must be feeling 😢

@KhalifKairo 😂😂 Is prime Kairo back with us ?

Beautiful scenes 👌🏾

[Davis Chirchir, EGH @davis_chirchir]

I witnessed the signing of the Engineer-Consultant Contract for the JKIA Modernisation Project, marking another major milestone in our journey to transform Jomo Kenyatta International Airport into a world-class aviation hub.

The contract appoints Dar Al-Handasah Consultants to undertake design review, project management, contract administration, and construction supervision for the proposed design, development, and modernisation of JKIA. Their expertise will be instrumental in delivering a modern, efficient, safe, and sustainable airport that meets global standards.

This marks the beginning of a critical implementation phase as we accelerate the delivery of a modern JKIA that will strengthen Kenya's position as Africa's premier aviation gateway and regional air cargo hub. Beyond enhancing passenger experience and operational efficiency, this investment will boost trade, tourism, connectivity, and create new opportunities for economic growth and job creation.

Kazi imekua ikifanyika Ol Kalou hata before hii by election ikue.

This is the 220 unit Phase II of the Ol Kalou Township Affordable Housing Project and as you can see Sio nyumba zimeanza jana.

President William Ruto is delivering! All the best Samuel Muchina Nyaga.

Why infrastructure fund sets Kenya on the path to economic transformation https://t.co/1jr9YoO4VM

[Decoded @Bygones_24]

Things don’t just happen. They are made to happen by the likes of Ruto, Ndii, and Chirchir.

It started with a bold masterclass in balance-sheet statecraft: committing Sh12 out of the Sh25 per litre Road Maintenance Levy (initially Sh7 in April 2025 to raise **Sh175 billion**, followed by an additional Sh5 in November 2025 to raise **Sh120 billion**) to clear pending bills and wake up 580+ stalled road projects.

But that was just Chapter One. Look closely and you’ll see the exact same financial blueprint rewiring the entire country with hard, cold numbers:

* **TALENT:** Issuing the **Sh44.79 billion** Linzi FinCo 003 asset-backed security (15.04% return over 15 years) to fund the construction of the 60,000-seater Talanta Sports City Stadium for AFCON 2027.
* **HOUSING:** Leveraging the 1.5% payroll levy into **Sh100 billion** in upfront syndicated loans to construct high-rises today instead of waiting decades for monthly pennies.
* **ROADS & SAVINGS:** Deploying **Sh9.59 billion** of NSSF capital for a 40% equity stake to construct the Rironi-Mau Summit toll road, matching local retirement savings with critical transit infrastructure.
* **THE NIF MIRACLE:** Rolling out the newly minted National Infrastructure Fund (NIF)—already seeded with **Sh347 billion** from the partial monetization of Safaricom and KPC—which has successfully mobilized **Sh350 billion** in just three months to finance dams, energy, and major bridges.
* **HEALTHCARE:** Transitioning to SHA/SHIF by pooling a mandatory 2.75% deduction into a ring-fenced, digitized national purchasing pool.

While the public debates the daily political noise, the kitchen cabinet is shifting the state from a passive service provider into an aggressive investment banker—collateralizing future streams to force a permanent structural shift today. 🇰🇪 #EconomicBlueprint

@GenKatusiime Uhuru left us in a massive hole , it was a mix of incompetence and corruption. We are lucky we made it through the doldrums

[DBwambale @TheMutaD]

@BoardLotSultan Nope. KK methods have led to good results. That's a win in my book

[DBwambale @TheMutaD]

@BoardLotSultan All infrastructure in the Global South rests on two words; Fiscal Space. That's what KK with all their rural bred bastards and the David Ndiis have created. The space to execute

[Dr. Eng. John Mativo CP³P @MativoMJohn]

Position yourself to participate in the growing PPP investment space. A shift is underway. Government budgetary space and ability to borrow is not sufficient to undertake all public infrastructure.
Public Projects are emerging for private investment. Capital is becoming more active.

Come we explore how PPP investments are structured, financed, and positioned in practice and how to engage effectively as the market evolves.
