@Kenyans This sounds ambitious, but leveraging $3B ten times is not free money, it amplifies risk just as much as it does returns. If projects underperform, taxpayers could be left carrying a massive financial burden.

Our target is to have $3 billion in there. If you leverage that 10 times in one cycle, you can finance roughly $30 billion worth of infrastructure - David Ndii on the National Infrastructure Fund

Iran is coming out of this far stronger. With Chinese weapons, Russian intelligence, control over the Straits of Hormuz, leverage over the Gulf States and assets unfrozen by the United States. A complete strategic disaster.

US intelligence indicates that China is preparing to provide Iran with air defense systems in a matter of weeks, CNN reported. Beijing is expected to ship shoulder-fired, surface-to-air missiles known as Man-Portable Air Defense Systems. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Affordable housing is providing massive consumptive demand for steel, cement and materials companies. National Infrastructure Fund is about to go live that will fund 10,000 MW of energy and 30,000 kms of roads - the precursor ingredients required for industry to take off.

JKIA deal structure:
Total cost for phase 1: $ 1.2 Billion
Equity component: 40 B KES ( 15 B from NIF, 25 B from Kenyan pension funds)
Debt: About 100 B KES
This is how we scale infrastructure investment going forward. A mere 15 B from GoK unlocks 1 billion dollars of capital.

David Ndii says that the Jubilee regime set out to build 57 mega dams, they finished about only two. They also set out to build 500,000 affordable housing units, built only 4000 in ten years.

@SylviaKangara Indeed, but we need to scale up the program we are at about 10k Units delivered currently, second term big ticket contracts should just be handed to China builders to do AHP 10-15k Phased Schemes. Current model will top out at around 200k Delivered in 10 years.

This life…
We can talk all day long about landlords breaching their legal duties to vulnerable tenants. Instead of providing habitable housing in exchange for rent, they provide death traps. Year in, year out, a never ending problem because said landlords can play games better than anyone else.
The President’s Affordable Housing Program begins to solve this historical, systemic, failure for the most vulnerable Kenyans.
