There will be more low cost houses to buy on mortgage as well as rent, if the government's call to the private sector comes to fruition. Deputy President, William Ruto says the government is looking to the private sector to put up affordable housing for low income earners in urban areas. This underserved market remains an unattractive gap as many developers opt for higher income properties. During the 7th Presidential Roundtable Meeting President Uhuru Kenyatta also called on the Kenya Private Sector Alliance, KEPSA, to create more jobs and internships through government-incentivised programmes. The private sector presented a report card that gave the government a high score in creating the right environment for business. Watch more NTV Kenya videos at ntv.co.ke and nation.co.ke.
