[kictanet] Construction at Konza City to start in three months time

[Catherine Adeya]

Solomon,

Kindly get in touch with me cnadeya at ict.go.ke and cc konza at ict.go.ke. I will ensure you get a status update and you can and we can take you through the details of where . President Kibaki launched the Project, not the Masterplan, it was not ready by then. The team will gladly share any information that you may want to go over as this is a public project, there is nothing to hide.

Please also do not rely so much on the way the print media sometimes report information. What is on-going is the Cadastral survey to demarcate the parcels in Phase 1. This should be done within 3 months to allow the other infrastructure teams that were dependant on this survey to come in. This includes electricity, water, roads etc. The basic horizontals have to be done for the for the verticals to come up. There is nothing to hide. 

Karibu sana,

Catherine

While I commend the management board of Konza City for this
initiative, I think they are hiding some truths from us.

When the City Masterplan was launched awhile back, there was a lot
hope and expectations. however, things took a different twist when
there were corruption allegations against Dr. Ndemo.

To cut the long story short, when the investors heard of the
corruption allegations they pulled off.
Who really, in his right mind would invest in a programme where you
are unsure of the ROI?

Perhaps, we need to do away with middle men and such people for the
technolopolis to take place, effective.


Let us wait and see... three months is just a blink away.
