President William Ruto during the commissioning of military houses in Roysambu/SCREENBGRABPresident William Ruto, on Thursday, chose a spot off the main podium during the commissioning of the Roysambu military camp housing project in Nairobi. His remarks appeared to reference the formal setup of the event, even though the podium had been specifically reserved for him. The event marked the commissioning of phase one of the Roysambu military camp housing project, a 500-unit development designed to provide modern and dignified accommodation for military officers and their families. Under the first phase of the military housing plan, the government is constructing 3,069 housing units in Roysambu, Nanyuki, Gilgil, Lanet and Mariakani. Ruto further announced that Phase Two will see the construction of 10,000 additional housing units in military installations across the country.
