The Kenyan government has reassured citizens that their property rights in the Affordable Housing Programme are constitutionally protected, countering warnings from former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua that buyers could lose their investments.

• The State Department for Housing and Urban Development issued a statement affirming that lawfully acquired property titles are secure and cannot be revoked by political declarations.
• Rigathi Gachagua had advised Kenyans against buying the affordable houses, threatening that the opposition would abolish the programme and recover such assets if they gain power after the 2027 general election.
• The government emphasized that the debate over the housing levy does not affect the ownership of homes already acquired under the Affordable Housing Act 2024, with beneficiaries receiving sectional titles protected by Article 40 of the Constitution.
