Kenyans looking to participate in the Affordable Housing Program will now be required to pay a Ksh200 activation fee, as announced by Boma Yangu, the gateway platform for the program. This fee serves as the minimum payment that individuals must make before they can start adding houses to their wishlist on the platform. To begin exploring the available housing options, interested Kenyans must first register through the eCitizen platform, which will grant them access to the Boma Yangu houses.

Upon registration, users will gain visibility into all the housing projects featured on Boma Yangu and can proceed to select and add their preferred units to their wishlist. The rationale behind the Ksh200 activation fee, as explained by Boma Yangu, is to prompt applicants to deposit a minimum amount to activate their account and subsequently enable them to continue saving additional funds at their convenience through various payment methods.

The process of paying the Ksh200 registration fee involves logging onto the eCitizen platform, navigating to the Ministry of Lands, Public Works, and Urban Development tab, and selecting the State Department of Housing and Development. Within this section, users can choose Boma Yangu, where they will be prompted to register. Completing the registration process entails submitting personal details and housing preferences, which will then be verified by relevant government agencies. Once the registration is complete, users will receive a notification to initiate the Ksh200 payment from their phone.

It’s important to note that the amount required for activation cannot be modified, and failure to make the payment will result in limited access to the portal, allowing users only to view ongoing projects without the ability to engage further. The platform aims to streamline the process of affordable homeownership by implementing this initial payment requirement, which serves as a foundation for individuals to start saving and investing in their housing goals.

As Kenyans navigate through the registration and payment process, they are encouraged to take the necessary steps to secure their place in the Affordable Housing Program and kickstart their journey towards homeownership. By leveraging the digital platforms and resources provided by Boma Yangu, individuals can take proactive measures to access affordable housing solutions and turn their homeownership aspirations into reality.
