Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to issuing sectional title deeds to all homeowners under the Affordable Housing Project, guaranteeing them full ownership of their properties.
Speaking at the funeral service of the late Malava MP Malulu Injendi in Lugusi, Kakamega County, Mudavadi emphasized that the housing initiative aligns with Article 43 (1)(b) of the Constitution of Kenya, which guarantees every citizen the right to accessible and adequate housing.
“The Affordable Housing agenda is not just about putting up structures; it is about giving Kenyans a chance to own property and secure their future. The government will be issuing sectional title deeds, and it is the government of Kenya that gives titles everywhere, so nobody should mislead Kenyans that they will not fully own their units,” he stated.
Mudavadi criticized those opposing the initiative, accusing them of spreading misinformation and creating unnecessary fear among potential beneficiaries.
He noted that the government had put in place the necessary policies and measures to ensure legal ownership for all homeowners under the program.
“When you see slum areas like Kibra and Mukuru Kwa Njenga being transformed through the Affordable Housing Project, you wonder why some people oppose such great strides,” he said, urging Kenyans to ignore detractors and take advantage of the opportunity.
He further explained that for the first time, Kenyans benefiting from the initiative will have legal documents proving homeownership, allowing families to build generational wealth and ensuring security of tenure.
Mudavadi also called on Malava and Kakamega County residents to embrace the program, highlighting its potential to create employment opportunities, empower local contractors and modernize housing infrastructure in the region.
Turning to the legacy of the late Malulu Injendi, Mudavadi urged residents to support ongoing development projects initiated by the late MP, assuring them of the government’s commitment to their completion.
“Malulu was a leader with a vision. His commitment to development was unwavering, and we must honor him by ensuring that his unfinished projects do not stall. President William Ruto, who was a close friend of Malulu, will prioritize this once the dust settles,” he assured.
Mudavadi described Malulu as a principled and dedicated leader whose impact was felt across Kakamega County.
He recalled that Malava had the highest number of university student enrollments in the county, attributing this to Malulu’s dedication to education and empowerment.
“The people of Malava have lost a great leader. I assure you that I will continue walking with you on the journey of transforming Malava and the Western Kenya region as a whole,” he pledged.
Mudavadi also acknowledged Malava’s overwhelming support for his 2013 presidential bid under UDF, where the constituency gave him the highest number of votes nationwide, a testament to the trust and leadership of the late Malulu Injendi.
