[kictanet] Question on ICT/BPO Park

[robert yawe]

Hi,

I hope the issue raised is not that of distance from the CBD as if that is it then my take is that it is too close.  We need to consider moving it at least 200 kilometers from Nairobi.

Since we are going to develop everything from scratch why not make a clean break and build from the ground up.  A place where we can easily harness clean power, recycle water, build houses on cheap none inflated land, planned developments, create governance structures in short, we need a technology city with all the trimmings not a patch worked solution.

Note that the ear marked land is now a subject of a court case, this is the birth of another  Kenya scandal.

For those who are interested in a better appreciation of what we are trying to do with the park read about Silicon Valley http://www.netvalley.com/svhistory.html.

Mr.  Liko,
All such parks are outside of Town.  Check Malaysia, Egypt, Philipines, South Africa and Brazil.  Malili is 60 KMs out of Nairobi on Mombasa Road.

Ndemo.
