Nairobi, Feb. 6 -- High-income earners will benefit from the affordable housing programme more than those who make less money, the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO) has warned.

The budget office cautions that under the current law guiding implementation of the programme, allocation of funds towards development of houses for Kenyans earning up to Sh149,000 monthly is set at 60 percent, yet they constitute 77 percent of Kenyans working in the formal and informal sectors.

On the other hand, Kenyans earning above Sh149,000 - who constitute just 23 percent of the workforce - have been allocated 36 percent of the funds.
