President William Ruto has launched an interest-free, Sharia-compliant housing financing model under the Affordable Housing Programme, enabling Muslims to acquire homes without contravening Islamic law.

• The new model replaces the standard 3 per cent interest rate on home loans, which had discouraged applications in Muslim-majority counties.
• Key figures involved include President William Ruto and various Sheikhs and Imams.
• This initiative ensures equal access to affordable housing for all Kenyans, as guaranteed by the Constitution.
