On June 1, 2026, Kang'ata, a former UDA senator now
critical of the party, said UDA boasts about housing but should prioritize the
Sh40 billion needed yearly for complete secondary school funding.
Kenya's program covers Sh22,244 per day student but leaves gaps
with extra levies, boarding fees around Sh53,000, and costs like
uniforms.
The housing push, funded by a 1.5% salary levy collecting nearly
Sh100 billion this year, aims to build 200,000 homes annually amid a 2.4
million unit shortage, sparking divided views on whether homes or education
come first.
