President William Ruto concluded his Western Kenya tour by defending his Affordable Housing Programme against opposition criticism, framing it as a vital solution to shrinking agricultural land.

• The program is seen as critical for densely populated areas like Vihiga County, where land is scarce.
• Opposition leaders, including Rigathi Gachagua, have vowed to abolish the program if they gain power.
• Throughout his tour, President Ruto also inaugurated development projects, including the Kidundu Stadium and Mbale Modern Market.
