There are no free lunches.
Unless you own them, construction material must be paid for in one form or another: building stones, sand, cement, steel bars, lumber, corrugated iron sheets, interior fixtures, door and window frames, windows and doors, floor tiles, ceiling boards, plumbing, electrical conduits, and the bric-a-brac that go into the construction of a house. Even when you own a piece of land and have managed to accumulate these things, you will spend a goodly sum to build a house.
It is not free.
Kenya has a large population of homeless people. They can neither afford to own nor rent a house. For a majority of the homeless, their homelessness is involuntary. In order for Government to house them, the housing will be paid for out of the national revenue. Should Government take responsibility for housing the homeless? Should Government take the responsibility of housing Kenyans generally?
