The Kenya University Students Union through their President Antony Manyara vowed to support President Ruto’s Affordable Housing Program.

These places, marred by insecurity, breed an unsettling panorama of risks including assault, rape, violence, and theft. KUSO, as the unwavering voice of thousands navigating these hardships, has relentlessly advocated for change.”
