OK, do let us know when the stakeholder consultations will happen and as well the actual launch.<br>
<br>
What are the implications to those who rushed to speculate on land within the zone?<br>

Edith,<br>
We have been pushed back by at least two months. We were not aware that<br>
the Physical Planning Act required publication of intent to replan the<br>
entire zone. It will also give protection to Konza. The first advert was<br>
done a week ago. We need to have stakeholder consultation once more and a<br>
final advert to avoid being sued. We must follow the law to the letter.<br>
We shall be there since all other requirements have been taken care of.<br>
