Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has urged the Kenyan government to view its Affordable Housing Programme as a comprehensive approach to social and economic transformation, rather than just a housing initiative.

• Odinga emphasized the need for housing linked with employment, education, and healthcare to create a holistic development model.
• The call was made during the 3rd Cabinet Retreat and Midterm Review in Kajiado.
• He warned that isolated housing projects would not succeed without accompanying infrastructure to support residents’ livelihoods, citing Kibra as a critical example.
