The minister added that four housing units under the Bonno D4 scale and below or equivalent Housing Loan Scheme (Turnkey), would be distributed by allocating one unit for Nokaneng and three for Gumare.

He said 10 housing units under the Ordinary Home Improvement Housing Loan Scheme were initially budgeted, however, only three applications were received from Gumare.

He further said at least 240 housing units would be delivered by investors in Ngami under the investor-led component of the programme and the actual number of housing units to be delivered on the site would depend on the design approach adopted by the investor.

The minister revealed that the investors allocated land in Ngami was Hsecred Holdings Pty Ltd and was allocated 50 plots in Etsha, while Farmcraft Pty Ltd received 50 plots in Gumare and Moreproperty 70 plots in Gumare.

Regarding the number of projects already in progress and their location, Mr Ramogapi said all the outlined projects were scheduled to commence in the next financial year, as preparatory processes were currently underway.

He explained that the criteria used to equitably distribute the housing allocation nationwide was a first-come, first-served basis per constituency, subject to the availability of plots and applicants meeting the eligibility requirements of the programme.

MP Aaron had asked the minister to state the total number of houses budgeted or planned for the Ngami constituency under the Bonno National Housing Programme along with a break down on how many would be built per village. end
