[kictanet] #140friday Updates: Someone please update us

[Muchiri Nyaggah]

Dr Ndemo did clarify that there is room for small business in Konza. There
has not been adequate information on how to be part of or invest in Konza.
The cost of commercial real estate (rental) as envisioned will be much
lower than the average in Nairobi which could be attractive to small
enterprises.

Brian Longwe did make a good point on Twitter earlier which he reiterated.
If your business needs to be in Nairobi to make money then stay in Nairobi.
Konza will only be attractive for those businesses that can leverage the
opportunity.

I'm looking forward to a stakeholder forum on Konza (or did one already
happen?) where a great deal of the questions on how to invest, what the
roadmap is and questions of the project's transparency could be addressed.


Kind regards,
