Defence Principal Secretary Dr Patrick Mariru on 29th August 2025 made a day-long inspection of the ongoing construction of 697 and 932 housing units at Kenyatta Barracks in Gilgil and Lanet in Nakuru County respectively.

Dr Mariru was satisfied with the progress of the projects that are part of the 3,069 units the Ministry of Defence (MOD) is constructing across the country through a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement in Phase I of the ministry’s comprehensive housing programme.

Concurrently, Phase II of the housing initiative that will deliver 10,000 single and married quarters is currently underway in Embakasi, Kahawa and Lang’ata Barracks in Nairobi County.

The projects are part of sustained efforts by MOD to address the acute housing deficit facing Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) personnel and their families.
