The Kenyan government has announced that delays in paying interns under the Affordable Housing Programme were caused by a payroll mix-up, not a lack of funds.

• Intern stipends missed the 25th payment deadline due to an administrative error.
• Charles Hinga, Principal Secretary for Housing, confirmed the issue, stating no one had been paid, including senior officials.
• The mix-up involved combining payrolls funded by the exchequer and the housing levy, affecting approximately 5,500 young professionals.
