Kibra redevelopment a correction of past injustices, says PS Hinga

The Government has described the Kibra slum upgrading project under the Affordable Housing Programme (APH) as a deliberate response to decades of exclusion and neglect.

In a statement on X, Housing Principal Secretary Charles Hinga noted that the current redevelopment is ‘a structural correction of past injustices’.

“For generations, families in Kibra lived without security of tenure, reliable infrastructure or access to decent housing. The current redevelopment is a structural correction of past injustices.” PS Hinga remarked.

The PS highlighted that the transformation of Kibra is a significant move that represents a reimagining of Nairobi’s urban landscape, ensuring that previously overlooked populations are now central to the city’s development blueprint.

“For Nairobi, the transformation of Kibra is equally a significant move. It marks a reimagining of the urban landscape, where previously invisible communities are being brought into the heart of the City’s growth agenda.” He noted.
