The Kenya Mortgage Refinance Company (KMRC) was established as a key institution to support the Affordable Housing Pillar of the Government’s Big 4 Agenda. In establishing KMRC, the Government adopted a public private partnership (PPP) arrangement with majority private sector ownership. KMRC was incorporated on 19th April 2018 as a non-deposit taking financial institution under the supervision of the Central Bank of Kenya with the single purpose of providing long-term funds to primary mortgage lenders (Banks, Microfinance Banks and Saccos) in order to increase the availability and affordability of mortgage loans to Kenyans. In order to drive our strategy, we seek to recruit suitable candidates in various positions who will support KMRC in ensuring their commitment to affordable housing for Kenyans.
