Once again, matusi is your main pursuit. Not mine. That and posting pictures of Kitengela. I don't remember any meaningful contributions from you.

I ask again. Are these guys -with offices in UK and DELTA TOWERS Westlands NIMRODS or NUMSKULLS to invest in a dusty little town as their one and only other outpost in Nairobi Metropolitan? Why didn't they choose Runda? Or Ruiru? Or Ngong? Or Kikuyu town? Wake up and smell the delicious New Runda coffee mblathees before you miss the boat ENTIRELY

Think deeply If Konza Technopolis is "the head" of Kenya's future, Who do you think are its arms, heart, chest and torso, given Nairobi is it's legs? New Runda of course - The commuter railway to Konza runs through it -The "Athi River" --more like Kitengela-- SGR station is located in it - Everybody who works at Konza will live and/or come shop in it - nearest Quickmart, Naivas, Chicken Inn and so on are all in Kitengela - Its unlimited hinterland will quickly merge into Konza just like Minneapolis merged with St Paul decades ago Kitengela has not even achieved .01% of its 100% potential yet Quote:https://businesstoday.co...VFqz_jGlA7qOGCYaB4yxDFA
South Korea Backs Konza City With Ksh686M GrantThe funds will be disbursed in three annual tranches of $2 million (Ksh228.62 million) each By MARTIN SIELE - Mar 18, 2022 South Korea’s government has backed Konza City with a $6 million (Ksh686.86 million) grant for the project. The funds will support the development of transport infrastructure, planning and security installations at Konza City. They will be disbursed in three annual tranches of $2 million (Ksh228.62 million) each. Particular projects expenditure will focus on include construction of smart parking facilities, digital signage and electric vehicle infrastructure at Konza, the 5,000-acre city 13 years in the making nursing dreams of becoming the region’s innovation and technology hub. Notably, South Korea and Kenya in April 2021 announced a partnership in which Seoul would contribute Ksh9.4 billion towards the establishment of the Kenya Advanced Institute of Science and technology (KAIST) to be constructed at the Konza city. The institution is modeled on South Korea’s own KAIST which offers specialized training in various technical fields.

Prepare yourself for the Konza-New Runda Twin cities technology hub of Kenya 2022-2030. Are you still talking about mundane topics like dust? Read any colonial book of the 1940s/50s. Nairobi CBD was ALL MUD as recently as that! Did you know that the Mombasa to Nairobi tarmack highway was only constructed by sisi bleks after independence? Prior to that it was vumbi tupu under 100 years of colonial rule! Dust means nothing as it is a temporary corollary of development! Quote:Konza City ranked third at the 2021 IASP Inspiring Solutions Programmehttps://tech-ish.com/202...ng-solutions-programme/
Konza Technopolis was ranked third in the 2021 International Association of Science Parks (IASP) Inspiring Solutions Program meant to recognise excellence within science parks and areas of innovation management and give visibility to the best projects and initiatives. IASP, which boasts of 350 members and 115,000 companies in 78 countries globally, selects the best top 10 solutions deployed by its members annually. The 10 finalists are selected by an expert panel, before IASP members vote for the three winners, who are announced live at the IASP World Conference. The Konza Technopolis Development Authority (KoTDA) was recognized for establishing the Konza Innovation Ecosystem Initiative (KIEI), which brings together the Government, Academia, Private sector, and non-state actors to champion the Technopolis innovation agenda resulting in the creation of new enterprises. A total of 20 new companies owned by the youth have been created and are now commercializing because of the KIEI approach. Further, 200 children between the age of 9 and 15 have been trained on innovation while over 1000 youth have been supported to develop new ventures. KoTDA Chief Executive Officer, Eng. John Tanui – who is also the President of IASP Africa Division, has hailed the Award as a recognition of the KIEI’s role in nurturing an innovation culture in Kenya’s economy, terming it as a game changer in how the innovation ecosystem operates in Kenya. “This initiative has addressed the gaps that were in the innovation ecosystem by ensuring there is co-ordination within the innovation ecosystem and providing a programme to innovators to channel their ideas and solutions to be able to turn them into start-ups.” Eng. Tanui said. He added, “Through the programme, we’ve got impressive innovations on healthcare, logistics and quality work. This has created a model we can replicate across Africa and ensure that the partnerships we have established with various stakeholders in the innovation ecosystem continue to grow.” Eng. Tanui spoke on the sidelines of the IASP’s International Board Meeting which was held in Malaga, Spain. The two-day Board meeting discussed the association’s future strategy and to outline the path for IASP to follow as we adjust to a post-pandemic world.

Quote:Powerful And Famous Kenyans Who Have Invested Heavily In Kitengela And Their PropertiesBy whownskenya -March 17, 2022 https://whownskenya.com/...a-and-their-properties/
By Isaac Blessings Kitengela is a fast growing town located in Kajiado County in the outskirts of Nairobi but within the Nairobi Metropolitan area. The growth of this populous town is attributable to the high number of companies in the area that have created employment both directly and indirectly. A sizeable number of people have also invested in real estate thanks to the affordability of land. In this article, WoK takes a look at the famous people who have invested in Kitengela as well as their investments. Senator Mithika LinturiMithika Linturi is the current senator representing Meru County. Linturi has invested in land and properties in Kitengela through his different companies. The details were first revealed in 2019 during a court battle between the senator and his ex-wife Marianne Kitany. The former Chief of Staff to DP William Ruto claimed ownership of some of Linturi’s properties located in Kitengela which include land titled Kaputiei North/ 10724 which is worth Ksh 4.2 million, Chuna Estate Kitengela which is worth Ksh 56 million, piece of land L.R No. Kajiado/Kaputiei North/10444 worth Ksh 7.2 million, a plot worth Ksh 100.8 million – L.R.NO. Kajiado/Kitengela/25310 and shares at Kitengela International School. William RutoWilliam Ruto is the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya having been in the position since 2013. He is also in the presidential race through his party United Democratic Alliance (UDA) in the August 9th 2022 general elections. Ruto has invested in the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) sector-owning the Kitengela Gas Company. This was according to a report that was released by the Interior Security Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i in August 2021. Matiang’i revealed this during a Parliamentary committee sitting on Administration and National Security that there are 10 police officers guarding Kitengela Gas Company which is owned by Deputy President William Ruto. Alex Mwakideu Alex Mwakideu is a veteran journalist having been in the field for over 15 years. He currently hosts a breakfast show at Milele Fm – a radio station owned by MediaMax limited. Mwakideu owns a car wash in Kitengela named Pampered Car Wash. At the beginning of this year, he opened up a restaurant just opposite his car wash named Pampered Village Restaurant. The restaurant which mainly specializes in Swahili dishes is located along Acacia road, off the Kitengela – Namanga Highway just behind Ola Petrol Station. He is also constructing a multi-million house in the area that is expected to be complete by the end of this year. Also Read: Pampered Village: A Tour Inside Alex Mwakideu Restaurant In Kitengela Jalango Felix Odiwuor alias Jalango is a popular comedian, radio host and aspiring politician who will be vying for the Langata constituency parliamentary seat in the forthcoming general elections. Jalango has invested in Kitengela through land and property. A few years ago, he bought a piece of land in Kitengela together with his long-time friend Alex Mwakideu. The duo are currently construction a multi-million house in the area in a project dubbed #JengaNaAlexNaJalas. The two occasionally share their progress and construction in their YouTube channel which has surpassed over 38,000 subscribers. Mwalimu ChurchillMwalimu Churchill is a comedian, radio presenter hosting the morning breakfast show at Classic 105 and the brains behind the Churchill show that airs on TV47. Mwalimu Churchill has invested in Kitengela through a famous nightclub known as Pavilion XV. The restaurant which hosts different guest DJs and appearances from the top musicians in the country has become a talk of the town since it was opened a few months ago. The details of Churchill owning the nightclub were revealed by Jalango during an exclusive interview with Mercy Atis on the #BongaNaJalas show that aired on Jalango TV YouTube channel on December 15th 2020. And this is just the TIP of the iceberg of the big dogs investing in New Runda buddies.

"Kitengela we da finest - uuu la la!"
Youth population matters, so ignoring them in your business plans is fatal. No need to emphasize that Kitengela is dominated by the youth. Youth with purchasing power at that

Due to financial and economic considerations. Schools take up a lot of land space in terms of physical infrastructure e.g classes, hostels, playgrounds, halls, teacher housing etc. Their revenues are dominated by fees charged to parents. Typically, the Income and Expenditure Account of a School is as follows: Revenues 1. School Fees xxx 2. Other service charges xxx Expenses 1. Teachers' Salaries xxx 2. Operating expenses e.g. electricity, water, food xxx 3. Other activities eg Sports, exams xxx 4. Administrative costs xxx 5. Finance Costs xxx 6. Land xxx7. Plant and Equipment xxx It makes economic sense to locate price conscious schools in areas where land is cheap but relatively accessible to the target market. The KCPE performance supports the hypothesis that Kitengela is a Middle Class neighborhood , not Upper Class like Runda. Life is short. Live passionately.

You are actually supporting the point I've been making all along. The same factors you mention that have led to top price conscious schools relocating to land-rich Kitengela, are the same factors that have drawn in not only just the sprawling middle classes of Kitengela (as you have brilliantly stated) but also the Kitengela upper middle classes and the upper classes who own most of the business such as OBC Mall . Isitoshe, due to the incredibly high home-ownership ratio - highest in Nairobi metro given all things equal, Kitengela land is the cheapest of the satellites that matter as I've stated a zillion times - the middle classes are moving into the upper middle class category (Runda) due to rapid capital accumulation that accrues to those with NO LOANS. This is not rocket science, mblathees. Just visit the estos around OBC one of these fine days then come back and tell us that they are not turning into New Runda Or was that guy in the OBC video insane for calling them "rich estates" ? He has done his research and clearly he knows what he is talking about and why luxury restaurants like Charlie's have also seen the light two decades early.
