Planning for major project in kenya can be a nightmare. Sourcing for quality and reliable suppliers is a headache. Price fluctuations will leave a big dent in your bank account. Few months ago cement was ksh 540 now I would not be surprised if it's ksh 1000..Check the steel prices, you will cry my friend.

Blame it on the fall of  the Ksh. The Ksh was for years around 100 to 105 to the US$. Now we are headed to over 160. No end in sight. I recall a few months back when the Ksh had hit 120 to the US$. People out of kenya were excited and sent  lot of cash to Kenya thinking the Ksh had hit rock bottom. Kumbe bado mpaka leo. I think it will stabilise between 180 to 200.

I would encourage those building to fight through it especially now exchange rate multiplier effect is on your side. Construction material suppliers are betting on government housing which I highly doubt will take off.

Why are we exporting steel and cement?  Ruto should be investing money in these two industries rather than chasing housing wind.
