Mutiso is so worried that property prices are depreciating sharply and believes they will continue to plummet unless new hope is infused into the area.

Since it was funded using tax money,payments were made possible to various stakeholders. If it had been left to fund itself through willing buyer willing seller private sector method, its lack of viability could have been easily felt, thereby preventing thousands of kenyans from the loss they are going through currently. Its a good lesson for kenyans who want to invest in land and property to first seek counsel from real estate consultants/architects before embarking on the investment. I saw the Konza catastrophe even before it started. Konza will grow naturally into a city extension in the year 2030 and beyond, but not in the next 10 to 15 years. Machakos will be the place to watch next 5 to 15 years if Gov. Alfred Mutua keeps with his pace and agenda. As Iron Sharpens Iron, So one Man Sharpens Another.

According to Patrick Nyirishema, the Head of ICT at RDB, the plans to set up Kigali Techno Pole are on the right track. The ICT city will be located at the Kigali Special Economic Zone (KSEZ) in Nyandungu sector, Gasabo district. “An ICT Park at Telecom House in Kacyiru was really a small level pilot of what a technology park would be. Rather than starting with a big technological park, we thought of looking for a place where we can build a techno pole on a small scale which would give us an idea of how an ICT city would be,” he explained, adding that, “Today most of the components that would make a techno pole are in ICT Park.” Nyirishema explained that the ICT city will also house the Carnegie Melon University Rwanda (CMU-R) which is temporarily located at Telecom House. Do a quick search on Carnegie Melon Uni "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore .

So all kenyan tax payers are loosers in the konza project as a country. The money should have been used to fund ICT innovation at uon or JKUCAT so as to benefit tax payers .
