Ruto Responds to Sifuna After Revealing He Pays Ksh24,000 for Housing Levy

President William Ruto has fired back at Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna after he disclosed that he pays Ksh24,000 monthly towards the Housing Levy.

Speaking on Tuesday October 13, President Ruto told Sifuna that the salary he gets in the Senate is funded by taxpayers including Kenyans whose children benefit from jobs created by the Affordable Housing Program.

“I heard another fellow the other day saying that he pays Ksh24,000 for housing from his salary, yet he is a senator. Now he has a plan to stop the Affordable Housing Programme simply because he pays Ksh24,000,” Ruto said.

He added,” I want to tell him to use his brain and stop being foolish. The people paying your salary are these very Kenyans. One million children of these Kenyans are working in the housing programme.”

President Ruto went on to argue that if Sifuna pays Ksh24,000 towards the Housing Levy, then his salary is more than Ksh1 million.

The Head of State questioned why Sifuna want the housing program abolished yet it employs many Kenyans.
