[kictanet] Poghisio appoints Konza City board members

[robert yawe]

I came across the post below on one of the online forums, if it is true then isn't someone being conservative with the truth when they say Huawei will be moving into Konza?

"...I attended the conference held at Lyco Regency 3/4 weeks ago. Ndemo
 stated that the Chinese had approached Konza but their request denied 
so they bought neigbouring land and are in the process of developing 
something major. He said the prefered the World bank/Western countries 
since they worked as a team with many countries involved unlike the 
Chinese.

AAK also asked why no local architects. Ndemo said it 
was coz of cost. AAK Sec Gen said that local architects were willing to 
participate pro bono. He agreed to have 2[man& woman] included in 
Konza team pro bono."

On the last point, might CCK have also been appreciated about nominating technology experts to the board or this was not necessary as their will be no real technology at this infrastructure stage?
