Takwimu za KNBS zinapingana na madai ya ajira za Nyumba Nafuu

Takwimu rasmi za Shirika la Kitaifa la Takwimu (KNBS) zinaonyesha ongezeko dogo la ajira katika sekta ya ujenzi ikilinganishwa na madai ya Rais William Ruto na maafisa wa serikali kuhusu Mpango wa Nyumba Nafuu. Jumla ya wafanyakazi katika sekta hiyo ilifikia 728,400 mwaka 2025. Tofauti hii imezua mjadala kuhusu athari halisi ya mpango huo.

Rais William Ruto amekuwa akipigia debe Mpango wa Nyumba Nafuu kama chanzo kikubwa cha ajira tangu Septemba 2022. Katika hotuba yake ya hali ya taifa Novemba 2025, alisema mpango huo umeunda ajira zaidi ya 428,000. Taarifa ya Sera ya Bajeti ya Februari 2026 ilitarajia ajira milioni moja kufikia 2026, wakati Ripoti ya Mwenyekiti wa Bodi ya Nyumba Nafuu Jeremiah Simu ilitaja 330,000 ajira kufikia Juni 2025.

Utafiti uliodhaminiwa na Idara ya Makazi na kufanywa na Grant Thornton ulipima ajira 464,759 za moja kwa moja na 640,442 jumla kufikia Januari 2026, ikiwa ni 379,194 kutoka ujenzi wa nyumba nafuu.

Hata hivyo, KNBS linaripoti ajira 728,400 katika ujenzi mwaka 2025, na ongezeko la 35,800 au 5.2% kutoka 692,600 mwaka 2024. Tangu 2023, sekta nzima imeongeza ajira 77,000 pekee, ikijumuisha ujenzi wa barabara. KNBS linasema sekta ya ujenzi ilichangia ukuaji wa uchumi, ikitaja mpango wa nyumba nafuu kati ya wachangiaji.

Katibu wa Makazi Charles Hinga alikosoa KNBS, akisema, “KNBS hawajui wanachofanya. Tutatoa majibu kwa ukweli.” Tofauti za takwimu hizi zinaendelea kuzua mjadala kuhusu mchango wa mpango wa Nyumba Nafuu.
