Amidst public outcry over the recently publicised increased loan amounts for the Bonno turnkey programme, Minister for Water and Human Settlements, Onneetse Ramogapi, has said they will review the prices once again.

Ramogapi said he was unhappy with the increased amounts, stating that he would immediately engage with stakeholders for a review. Several district councils on Friday issued public notices for revised loan amounts for Bonno scheme under D4 scale and below, or equivalent, by the Department of Housing.

According to the notice, a one-bedroom house loan amount has been increased by P132,490.32 from P282,000 to P414,490.32,which is a whooping 32% increment.
