<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi,<br><br>From your domain name I see you should be looking at a technology park not the ICT park with is actually a subsector. I would warn you not to hold your breath on the park as we are already into campaign mode so expect more short term projects with high extortion capacity, that is less than 2 years cycle.<br><br>To answer the questions, the government is meant to provide an enabling environment and facilitation not procurement as allocation will be done like was done in Mau a few politically correct people will be allocated the land for speculation purposes.<br><br>We are yet to see a comprehensive strategy paper on the ICTPark all we get are snippets, will the government lease the land at pepper cone rates or commercial rates, what is the time frame. All we are asking is a detailed roadmap so that we know where we are heading. I do
not expect this soon especially since we have never seen the entire designs for the new road networks all we get is snippets, why?<br><br>Athi River is too close to Nairobi and will suffer from all the short comings, the location needs to be further from Nairobi so that it can be insulated from the speculative demands. My proposal is Nanyuki for its weather and adaptive administration, Mumias close to the sugar plant to provide reliable power supply or Isiolo.<br><br>We need to make a clean break from Nairobi and its environs, also if we are to put up disaster recovery centers they need to be at least 150 kilometers from the main data centres therefore Athi River is out.<br><br>The ICTPark is supposed to be a tripartite in nature private sector, academia & government in that order.<br><br>Regards<br><br>Robert Yawe<br>

waiting for the ICT Park with ‘baited’ breath. I believe this idea
is also open to the private sector, I am trying to understand why Mr. Liko
thinks it is not the best use of government funds, could you kindly throw some
light into this view. And the location, somewhere in the Arthi plains? What sucks
about it? What would be a better location. I feel like your comments left those
of us who are used to criticism followed by suggestions hanging. Some way
forward suggestions please.</span></p>

We are unable to sort out a basic issue like procurement of land for the ICT Park,
look at the following article on what our neighbour Uganda are doing.
Its time we stopped thinking that the whole world is waiting for us to clean
our act, others are moving on.<br>
