[kictanet] court ends Konza city land trials

[Barrack Otieno]

Edith,

The Court cases were stumbling blocks, my hope is their dismissal
paves way for next steps in the project. Looking at what has become of
the Sameer Business Park, i am confident Konza can actually be a
reality sooner than later.

Regards
