Nairobi Gubernatorial hopeful Pauline Njoroge has defended Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna's controversial remarks about the Affordable Housing Programme, interpreting his "chicken" analogy as a metaphor for context-specific development.

• Pauline Njoroge stated that critics "deliberately missed the point" of Sifuna's argument, which was about tailoring development projects to local realities.
• Key figures involved include Pauline Njoroge, Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, and President William Ruto.
• Sifuna's remarks questioned the suitability of high-rise housing in Western Kenya, where he argued residents rely on land ownership and poultry keeping for livelihoods.
