@ 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?

Robert has noted unplanned/illegal developments, that is our bad governance, is the greatest risk to Konza City. Yesterday a wise Gen Y who is not interested in migrating told me, he heard a wise person note, that if all Kenyans migrate to the West, and 40 million Westerners move to Kenya, in 30 years, the Kenyans who ran away would be trying to get back here. We need to target mid to lower level operatives not feared by our anti corruption agencies. These are the people who falsify documents and misrepresent what is on the ground. If we develop a world class city, it can by 2030, digitally serve our projected 200M (population) East African Community. Good governance of our increasingly large populations will draw investments. Trust history, not politics/propaganda. We should elect leaders with a history/policy of taming violent rouges from their communities. Think John Michuki...

I came across the post below on one of the online forums, if it is true then isn't someone being conservative with the truth when they say Huawei will be moving into Konza? "...I attended the conference held at Lyco Regency 3/4 weeks ago. Ndemo stated that the Chinese had approached Konza but their request denied so they bought neigbouring land and are in the process of developing something major. He said the prefered the World bank/Western countries since they worked as a team with many countries involved unlike the Chinese. AAK also asked why no local architects. Ndemo said it was coz of cost. AAK Sec Gen said that local architects were willing to participate pro bono. He agreed to have 2[man& woman] included in Konza team pro bono." On the last point, might CCK have also been appreciated about nominating technology experts to the board or this was not necessary as their will be no real technology at this infrastructure stage?

<snip> Putting the interest of Kenya ahead, is it more economically feasible to hire local Architects or to pay foreigners do the job that we can comfortably do? Since Asian ICT experts offer cheaper labor than us, does it mean we will fill Konza with Indians at the expense of locals? Remember Kenya bought BVR kits from Canada at 3times the cost (from initial 3B to 9B). Why then can't we benefit local expert? -- ______________________ Mwendwa Kivuva For Business Development Transworld Computer Channels Cel: 0722402248 twitter.com/lordmwesh www.transworldAfrica.com <http://www.transworldafrica.com/> | Fluent in computing kenya.or.ke | The Kenya we know
