More than two-thirds of Kenyans (69 per cent) do not support the housing levy, a poll by Tifa shows.
The poll which was released on Tuesday shows that even a majority of government supporters (54 per cent) are against the levy while nearly all opposition supporters oppose it at 84 per cent.
“Among Kenyans as a whole, only one-quarter express support the housing fund programme at 24 per cent,” the report says.
“To a large extent, such opinions are more a reflection of political alignment than of the details of the programme itself,” it adds.
The national survey was conducted between June 23 and June 30 among 1,530 respondents through Computer Assisted-Telephonic-Interviews (CATI) and with a margin error of +/- 2.5 %.
