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

[bitange at jambo.co.ke]

Robert,
You are making assumptions that spoil the discussion.  First of all
Government did not pay above the market price.  Yes we want to have these
parks throughout the country.  It just happens that we started from
Nairobi.

The reality is that we may not sufficient capacity support in Mumias at
the moment.  We shall move to most Provincial Cities before getting to
Mumias.

By the way if there is Land in Mumias for Ksh. 20,000 an acre, please let
me know.  I would invest pronto.

Regards


Ndemo.
