In February 2023, President William Ruto inspected the construction of the Bondeni affordable housing project, that has been established under a public-private partnership agreement.
Construction of the project began in May 2021, after King Sapphire Developers, a subsidiary of Royal Group Industries, pumped Ksh2 billion into the project.
According to the agreement, the private investor provided funding while the government provided a 7.5-acre piece of land that had been occupied by municipal houses.
