@ Yawe +1 :-) Whereas Konza is indeed a Construction project, it would have added value to have a board member or two who can remind the Constrution Professionals to also keep an eye on the WHY the construction? Otherwise if you focus to much on the HOW to do the construction, by the time the construction is done, you may realise that you have no one to take up the space aka Mr. White Elephant right there. .in other the mantra "build it and they will come" does not always work. walu. ________________________________ From: robert yawe <robertyawe@yahoo.co.uk> To: jwalu@yahoo.com Cc: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 4:23 PM Subject: Re: [kictanet] Poghisio appoints Konza City board members Hi, Is this a construction project?
