Financial Resource Management as a Key Determinant in Completion of Kenya Police Housing Scheme Projects in Kenya

Construction projects, particularly in developing countries like Kenya, often face significant challenges including funding shortages, cost unpredictability, delays, and conflicts between project objectives. These factors negatively impact the feasibility, cost, and schedule performance of projects. Over time, the state of institutional housing for Kenya police and Kenya prisons personnel has deteriorated significantly. This has led to poor living conditions, with multiple families often being forced to share a single residence intended for one family, which compromises the privacy and living quality of the inhabitants. The ongoing housing crisis has been a topic of serious and continuous debate within national forums. The shortage has forced police officers to live outside designated police lines, contrary to service standing orders, further complicating the living and operational conditions for the officers. Despite the launch of the Kenya Police Housing Scheme, many houses have remained incomplete for years without clear reasons why projects were not finished as planned.
