During a public address, captured on video, Ruto directly challenged those opposing the initiative, highlighting its importance for the community. The video shows a large crowd gathered at the Mumba Affordable Housing project site in Kisumu County. "Wachaneni na Affordable housing! Pelekeni ujinga yenyu Kwengine!"

His words underscore the strong emotions surrounding the project and the political implications for the region. The video also showcases the ongoing construction, depicting a significant investment in the community. However, the presence of a large crowd and Ruto's direct confrontation suggest underlying tensions and resistance to the project from certain groups.

The government's commitment to affordable housing is a significant step towards addressing the housing crisis in Kenya. However, the challenges highlighted in this video underscore the need for continued dialogue and engagement with the community to ensure the successful implementation of such projects.
