<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt">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?<br><br>"...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.<br><br>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."<br><br>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?<br><br>Regards<br><div><span><br></span></div><div> </div><div>Robert Yawe<br>KAY System Technologies Ltd<br>Phoenix House, 6th Floor<br>P O Box 55806 Nairobi, 00200<br>Kenya<br><br></div><div>Tel: +254722511225, +254202010696<br> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Grace Githaiga <ggithaiga@hotmail.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> robertyawe@yahoo.co.uk <br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cc:</span></b> KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions
