Robinson Chirchir “Malaria” Moves Into Kapsabet Home Under Boma Yangu

KAPSABET, Kenya — Nandi senatorial aspirant Robinson Chirchir, popularly known as “Malaria,” has announced that he has officially moved into a one-bedroom house in Kapsabet under the government’s Affordable Housing Programme (AHP), popularly known as Boma Yangu.

Chirchir shared the milestone on his Facebook page, expressing gratitude to President William Ruto and the Kenya Kwanza administration for what he described as progress in providing affordable homes for ordinary Kenyans.

“Today, I officially moved into my one-bedroom house in Kapsabet under the Affordable Housing Programme,” Chirchir said.

He described the move as an important milestone for himself and his family and encouraged Kenyans who qualify to register for the programme.

Chirchir also used the announcement to express his political support for President Ruto, saying the President deserves a second term and that his work is speaking for itself.

How Kenyans Can Get an Affordable House

Chirchir’s announcement has also renewed interest in the Affordable Housing Programme, particularly among Kenyans looking for alternatives to expensive conventional home ownership.

The programme provides different categories of housing depending on location, house size and the applicant’s income category.

Kenyans interested in the programme should begin by registering through the official Boma Yangu platform and checking the housing projects available in their preferred locations.

1. Check the Requirements

Potential applicants should first confirm that they meet the requirements for the housing category they want to apply for.

The programme targets different income groups, meaning the price and financing arrangements can vary depending on the particular housing unit.

Applicants should also ensure that their personal information and identification details are accurate before proceeding with registration.

2. Register Through Boma Yangu

Kenyans can register through the official Boma Yangu platform.

Registration should be done through official government channels, and applicants should be cautious of individuals claiming to be agents who demand money simply to register them.

3. Select a Housing Project

After registration, applicants can check available and upcoming housing projects and indicate their preferred location and type of house.

Depending on the project, available units may include bedsitters, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and larger apartments.

Prices vary from one project to another, so applicants should confirm the current price and payment terms for their preferred development before making financial commitments.

4. Build Your Deposit

Registered applicants can make contributions towards the deposit required for their preferred house.

The amount and payment arrangements depend on the particular housing unit and applicable financing option.

Consistent contributions can help applicants prepare financially for home ownership.

5. Follow the Allocation Process

Once housing units become available, qualified applicants go through the applicable allocation process.

Applicants should rely on official communication from the programme and avoid people who promise guaranteed allocation in exchange for money.

6. Explore the Available Financing Options

Depending on the housing project and applicant’s circumstances, different financing arrangements may be available.

These can include outright purchase, mortgage financing and tenant-purchase arrangements.

Applicants should carefully review the repayment period, deposit, monthly instalments, interest and other applicable costs before committing to a house.

Affordable Housing Expanding Across Kenya

The Affordable Housing Programme is designed to increase access to home ownership beyond Nairobi and other major urban centres.

Projects have been announced or developed in different parts of the country, allowing residents to explore housing options closer to where they live and work.

For residents of Nandi, the availability of a housing project in Kapsabet provides an opportunity for those interested in affordable home ownership to explore the programme without necessarily relocating to Nairobi.

Robinson Chirchir’s Political Message

Chirchir’s announcement comes as political activity begins to intensify ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The Nandi Senate race is expected to attract several political figures as aspirants position themselves to compete for the county’s senatorial seat.

By publicly celebrating his new home under the Affordable Housing Programme, Chirchir has also linked his personal experience to his broader support for the government’s housing agenda.

His message is likely to resonate with Kenyans who are interested in government housing programmes and looking for more affordable ways to become homeowners.

What Kenyans Should Do Before Applying

Anyone interested in an affordable house should:

• Use official government housing platforms.
• Confirm the current price of the specific unit.
• Check the required deposit.
• Understand the monthly repayment amount.
• Confirm the financing terms.
• Keep receipts and records of all payments.
• Avoid unofficial agents demanding money for registration or guaranteed allocation.
• Verify all housing information through official government channels.

Bottom Line

Robinson Chirchir’s move into his Kapsabet one-bedroom home has highlighted the growing interest in Kenya’s Affordable Housing Programme.

For Kenyans hoping to own a home, the most important step is to register through the official Boma Yangu platform, identify suitable projects and understand the full financial obligations before committing to a purchase.

Housing prices, eligibility requirements, available projects, and financing terms may change. Applicants should verify the latest information through official government channels before making payments or signing any agreement.
