#140friday Updates: Someone please update us
Im seeing the flurry of conversations on twitter but cant follow effectively, please could someone on the ground update us on any new updates on the Konza issue that seems to have warmed up the floor? is there room for small fiirms in Konza? -- *“The twentieth century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy”*
Dr Ndemo did clarify that there is room for small business in Konza. There has not been adequate information on how to be part of or invest in Konza. The cost of commercial real estate (rental) as envisioned will be much lower than the average in Nairobi which could be attractive to small enterprises. Brian Longwe did make a good point on Twitter earlier which he reiterated. If your business needs to be in Nairobi to make money then stay in Nairobi. Konza will only be attractive for those businesses that can leverage the opportunity. I'm looking forward to a stakeholder forum on Konza (or did one already happen?) where a great deal of the questions on how to invest, what the roadmap is and questions of the project's transparency could be addressed.

Hi Collins, You have hit the nail on the head. There will be a #140Friday next month and a significant part of it is going to be a progress report on action items agreed out of today's session. Among these action items is a policy paper that will be presented to Gov't; a "financial smarts" curricula to school tech entrepreneurs on how to raise funds for their businesses, how to engage with Fund Managers etc; and a couple of other items.... Follow the hashtag :) Regards, Brian On Fri, Mar 9, 2012 at 1:57 PM, Collins Areba <arebacollins@gmail.com>wrote:

Think the number of tweets was high -- so twitter clients are not showing the tweets done earlier in the morning. A brief on Google+ might be in order. Could be wrong, but not sure if Facebook is for serious intellectual briefings. On Fri, Mar 9, 2012 at 1:54 PM, Brian Munyao Longwe <blongwe@gmail.com>wrote:
