Where the hell is Konza, who does the project seek to serve there? Mind u ever the locals had reservations on the project. Why i'm i tempted to believe you Gekko, that this is a 2012 campaign funding plot.

ICT parks raise GDP, create jobs, reinforce technology transfer, attracts new investments..

case studies Mauritius, Egypt and Dubai..

even young states like Rwanda are doing ICT parks..

you need to present facts to back up your statements.

A very good idea but the question is WHEN!!! I remember reading about this project in early 2006, five years later nothing. Now suddenly on the eve of 2012, they are talking bout it. They say they have allocated 1 billion, what is 1 billion to the eye of a 1 trillion shilling project? Peanuts i say. This is all talk. I'll believe it when i see the contractor on site.

Good strategy to raise property prices along Mombasa rd, and yes, they have appreciated quite high............I will be positive when i "hear" there is a contractor on site.

i heard first of the superhighway in 2006..
i heard about the Lamu port even earlier..
to plan a multi unit housing project proper takes a good portion of a year..
the information i have indicates that the survey for the rail to sudan is been done now.. these are capitally intensive projects that are expensive and take long to prepare else you will be left with a set of stuck up results such as what happened when njeru githae started arguing with the city council over who provides street lighting..
the metropolitan dream.. the ICT park will be enjoyed by your children..

POINT ON....ICT is the brighter future (even if it's for our kids).

my question is who is goin to use this infrastructure. forgive my naivity but are there any serious investors who have pledged to set up shop at konza? and why do is smell the fattening of pockets? in my view, G.K should have offered an incentive for private business to do business ata kama its a refund on infrastructure spending that way the 1tril wount go through 10 MP's and 20 contractors and only 100 mill by the time it fikaz konza.
