The difference between African countries and European countries if they say they are going to build housing they do it, when an African government says it even years later nothing is accomplished.
its a complex (global) economic and political system that needs to be understood and then played accordingly...its tough man. I think about it often and don't fully understand why my country (germany) is on top and others aren't. well sure I understand part of it. we make cars, people buy the cars, we get the money, okay. anyway I wonder why its not possible for a enclosed region or country to be prosper. people say that north korea is poor because there is no foreign money. why even need foreign money? people do the jobs they can, they exchange money...everyone is happy or not? :D no obviously not, I don't know how it works...
Why don't Kenyans march and demand more housing instead of saying the government is corrupt the same old sing song, if you don't like something in which your government is doing then protest.
The lady with the glasses in black made a brilliant breakdown,the Government,the Community,the Private sector is Responsible to solve the slum houses issue
@@DWThe77Percent The problem of housing can't be tackled independently. Other issues need to be addressed if any housing policy will be sustained. For example, Kiberia residents say they can't afford to live in a house with better utilities because they can't keep up the payment. This means that the government needs to create jobs, organize skill acquisition programs, and make policies that will translate to a higher income for all. Also, as I was even discussing with a driver today, we are our own problem. I don't know much about Kenya, but how it works here in Nigeria is that house owners, charge exorbitant fees for rent. There are no laws regulating the payment of rent, so people charge as much as they like. Only people who earn a lot can afford to live there. The rest of us have to manage living in houses without toilets and other basic utilities like access to water, electricity and the like. So, it's a mentality issue. I'm not saying to give their houses for free, but at least, let us charge reasonable amounts from ourselves for rent. In summary; the government should act fast, and when we own houses, we shouldn't take advantage of others.
@Travel 4k please guys why why thats personal please theirs a bigger pic here lets try and solve it she got the media please you want to trow out the baby with the bath water
How are they going to do this without a larger and more innovative economy with higher work efficiency? The student and the builder are right imo, but also those advocating for better legislation concerning regulation of building and renting. Consumers need to be protected from unfair market practices, especially when it comes to basic needs.
Affordable housing should be based on the average salary of the low wage workers in Kenya. Like maybe half of that would be a good start, and work your way up or down.
Housing is not possible in Kenya when 77% of the population is poor, barely able to afford the most basic needs...a house, any house... will be converted into a cash cow for profit. Capitalism has destroyed Africa and designed to do so. First create opportunity, which brings jobs. Without these, Kenyatta is building homes for future chinese settlers.
what shes doing is amazing job please its not who she is its what she's bringing. Africa needs all the love Africa can get we out here who are black know how much we need this
I can't see this Kenyans young women always argueing about their husband salary lazy bones while in rural areas is so fertile and would leave better .....hiyo kibera ...i was in Kisumu when i was in Kenya beautiful productive country that i fell in love. In central hakuna mashamba Kisumu is alot ....why why why ...
So true especially in Homa bay and Migori. Those two counties have so much land and so little investment in them. I like how the 2010 constitution gave us a good layout for development because we have the county governments and the policies they could bring for the grassroots. The only think we need is a good leadership at helm because that will give us a vision.
@@timmitoz1380 thats the elephant in the room.. these western tribes squatting in kibera wants free socialized housing.. while their counties looks so green and ready
But quality jobs are a simple function of a stronger economy that works for as many people as possible. I really really do not like the way many people say things like: "The government has to create more jobs" etc. The government has to provide the general conditions in which the economy can provide good jobs. Rule of law, well educated people, low corruption, well working administration, infrastructure, advancement of entrepreneurship, a better investment climate, just taxation ... But I guess that is what you meant.
We need to chose rights leaders for economic, pollutions, ecology and human rights in future generations 2 2090202 most of the leaders are very corrupt and mislead
Roles of the leaders to change not the citizens start from a bove 2 2090202 u cannot solve the the problem without getting where the problem come from 2 2090202
lol no it's corruption. There is more than enough space. Population control isn't the issue it's population management, creating jobs and industries and planning for the growth in population. People are bored and they have kids when there is nothing else to do lol.
@@KAIZORIANEMPIRE population control is an issue because if a country cant create enough jobs to keep up with the amount of people that need jobs, then poverty will always persist
Listening to you all blah blah blah. While me here drooling over that. Stunning beautiful chick (Edith) wish I have her as my soulmate. Here in Western World! Girl, you're one hottie!
How is the government dealing with housing crisis in your city?

Edith Kimani is doing a great job
The problem is Africa lacks a sense of organization and housing management.
There is not "the problem", it is "part of the problem" or "a problem". This is important.
Wow the lady student in black dress specs is so much exposed,eloquent and bright i like her debating skills 19:00
they refused better housing
The Issue has NOW found an Honorable & Global platform. Thank you @DWAfrica & Edith. Look forward to more.
@Samuel Njau. Do you have any other topic that is equally important that could be discussed here?
Why don't Kenyans march and demand more housing instead of saying the government is corrupt the same old sing song, if you don't like something in which your government is doing then protest.
Too many babies? Maybe the men should give the women a break?
It's not a housing problem it's an income problem.

Another brilliant interview. Thank you, Edith.
We have homes built with wood( timber) here in America and they hold very well...
Love the kiswahili with english subtitles.....cuba is the answer in everything.
Great content as always, DW. This housing challenge is prevalent across most African countries, and it's embarrassing.
Great to hear that @CAF Media. Any suggestion on how to solve the problem?

@@anetafelix So it basically comes down to better economy and consumer protection via legislation. Would you add a lower economic inequality?
You put it perfectly, Eisen: consumer protection it is. I'm optimistic, however, that African counties would become the ideal we all dream of.
Wow. I love the style of debate. The host is fantastic.
Amazing content. And Edith is a beauty.

Who is Edith?
That was kiswahili . I tried to learn some on Duolingo.com but I stopped really quickly because the words were extremely long.
If you live in a good house with same rent as kibera . Expense will increase in the house
Would an interim measure of building communal facilities like bath houses, laundries, toilet blocks, etc. to be used for a small charge work?

My dream house would be a home that am the manager and seeing my kids becoming successful. It doesnt matter where it will be

Your povaty rate is not corect I really doubt it
Great show.
Thank you @laurence mwai. What did you like the most?
I know it's not comparable, but living in Germany I still identify with this debate.
Identifying with different people is no shame. I am German too but I can say our problems are not comparable! Don't be silly
what shes doing is amazing job please its not who she is its what she's bringing. Africa needs all the love Africa can get we out here who are black know how much we need this
If Africa Is A Country, then Kenya Is A State? 2:58
In Spain container houses are you kidding hahaha where? Here there so many houses .... We hv block houses no container houses where did u see that ?
True but her point of being more creative still stands.
Isss okii. If there are none saws..tusonge tu. Her points were so varied, though.
I actually enjoyed this debate. Mmmmm, head scratch...🤔.
Well you should get started then.
You think?
I see why they come to America.

Afrika is undepopulated.....do what cuba does change ur govt they are not interested in their people. Rent in cuba is 2 $ per month.
First of all creation of jobs is important. A randomn Citizen cannot afford to buy a house worth less than 10,000 Dollars
But quality jobs are a simple function of a stronger economy that works for as many people as possible.
I really really do not like the way many people say things like: "The government has to create more jobs" etc.

Rule of law, well educated people, low corruption, well working administration, infrastructure, advancement of entrepreneurship, a better investment climate, just taxation ...
But I guess that is what you meant.
You also need to go to west pont Liberia Monrovia is worst then here
Yeah but I guess to tackle the general problem, it is better to use a typical example rather than the worst one.

The country like Kenya depends on tourists for money
We need tourists feel comfortable like learning different languages to help translate and talk with tourists 2

1. Constitutional Amendments
2. National Identification
3. Population control
