...there was a story in standard about two weeks ago....on thursday..... and I ask....is there a Leader in Ukambani?.....who will save the Kamba Nation?.....and this is not hate speech....The potential of Ukambani is just amazing but...there lacks real leadership.... Maruba dam near Machakos ...is currently full after the mini el nino....but Machakos town is thirsty....money for piping from the Dam to Town(the Kamba City) ... was misappropriated.... Water from Kilimanjaro has been diverted to flower farms in Kitengela....As Mulu Mutisya continued with his manangala ngala kama nyanya ya mwala song .... Now the ICT city is going to Thika..... -x http://www.nation.co.ke/...8/-/7g0ip5z/-/index.html

Speculators be "a"ware, by the time the issue is in the public domain the money has already been made. We have high speed internet access but unfortunately we only use it for social networking site access. How big is 5,000 acres? It is 20 million square meters or 4.5 kms x 4.5 kms, Times Towers is only 60,000 square meters. Note that the technology park in Egypt is only 500 acres. Looking at a real live example, the area encompassing Limuru Rd & Kiambu Road which includes Karura Forest, Muthaiga, UN Complex, Village Market, Muthaiga Golf Course, and Evergreen is 9,000 acres. What many of you are doing is speculating on the effect on a plot in Ruaka in relation to the building of the UN Complex & the American Embassy. It has been over 30 years since the Runda development was started yet even today there are blocks of over 10 acres still available. So, as you look at Malili as an investment opportunity what is your time scale for return? If it is 30 years then fine knock yourself out, if it is less, then look for an alternative opportunity.

the scramble for plots around malili is somewhat funny. I drive thro that area every weekend and tell ya what people are buying upto Konza which is quite a distance from malili the locals told me they are making some good money the prices have shot thro the roof.

Just thinking. Someone offered me 20 acres at the Konza ranch for 45k per acre in 2007. I saw the place, I liked it, had the money but like many other plot. Someone came along the way to show me a better one. Daem

malili ..malili...malili.... as we can see the govt is still conducting the visibility studies on this ICT thing. what if the govt decides to shelf the project and sell the land to KARI?.... there is a town jast 30kms from town and when in early 1990s the govt was planning to set up the EPZ complex....smart investors held on to their cash until the govt did the real ground breacking ceremony and land prices in that area have bin going up from that day. the town is kitengela!! finaly.. land and property speculations brought the economy of the great USA to its knees... malili "investors" beware!!..
