Dear Ali,
I agree with you. My humble opinion is that Government priorities may have changed. Engineer Tanui the Konza CEO is on the list and had at one time invited listers to tour the facility. I think Konza can still be realized. It will be great to revisit the previous discussion and for Engineer Tanui to respond to the concerns that have been raised since there seems to be life at Konza.
Best Regards

Thanks for sharing.
Listers, even the best-laid plans can miss their targets. I'd rather we discuss:-
1. What went wrong. 2. What are the lessons to be learned. 3. Can the project get back on track? 4. Has it gone wrong? How long does it take to build a new city?
Regards

Kenya was one of the earliest countries to outsource its dreaming to McKinsey. The entire Vision 2030 strategy was developed by the Kenyan government in conjunction with McKinsey & Company, with Konza being one
of
many techno-utopian urban renewal projects the firm was involved in. At first, most were undertaken in Asia, then, in the 2000s, the focus shifted to African countries, which were seen as growth markets for big tech and financial corporations.
...the McKinseyfication of government and federal services often means that the mere production of paperwork counts as progress. ...The question then becomes, Who is responsible for the failure of Konza??
