Edith, Thanks for asking. Konza has never been and will never be a pipe dream. We are progressing well. We have the Master Planner in place. We had a small problem with physical planning with respect to approvals as per the physical planning act. These requiirements will be met by the end of the month. We also have Konza Authority in place. You need the institutional framework in place to ensure succession planning. We have several partners who we are at different stages of partnerships. God willing we should break ground next month. This is dependent on the schedule of our guest of honour. I am more optimistic now that the project will be a reality but as usual local participation lags behind. This has always been our culture. We'd rather wait and complain that we were left out than be trail blazers. Nevertheless, we shall succeed with the few who have expressed interest. Ndemo.
Listers,
Just wondering if anyone knows what ever happened to the planned launch and ground breaking for Konza Techno park? Is it still on? or a pipe dream?
Would be good to know as we strive to achieve vision 2030, let us accompany the mega road construction we see around with some landmark ICT mega projects, we should not be left behind as an industry.
Bwana Ndemo/Mugo, could you please shed some light? expected date of launch? I hope before the end of the year?
Edith
