[kictanet] {Disarmed} Re: Question on ICT/BPO Park

[bitange at jambo.co.ke]

Liko,
The Government is only championing the construction of the Park that will
cost in excess of $10 billion or one third of our GDP.  In Uganda yes the
Private sector is putting the park up on Land provided by the Government. 
We are parctically doing the same only that most Government land was
grapped.  Indeed if we need development, Government must begin to reaquire
the land.  There is no investor coming to spend a fortune buying land.  It
would have been prudent if your question was to understand the model we
are employing in developing the mult-use (ICT, Science, Financial
District, Multimedia) park in Athi River.

Ndemo.
