KMA Housing Co-operative Society was started in 1981 as a response to a felt need among doctors. This followed an industrial court order in the medical fraternity where doctors were evicted from government houses and their families incarcerated as the government’s strategy to force them back to work.
Banks could not lend to doctors because their salaries at the time were not attractive. KMA Housing was hence developed to offer affordable housing for doctors.
Since its inception, it has provided housing to many doctors in projects that include South C that was completed in the 1990s and has 61 units that sold at between Kshs 1 and Kshs 2 million each.
