@murch..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 boughtneigbouring 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.

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.

@jamplu..Bitange described the land during the conference as visible from Konza -i dont have details on this.

i understand the zoning suggested in Feb 2012 will be effected ASAP so if you have a plot within 2km from the fence please be on the lookout.

I agree.On the one hand such a big software company leaving Kenya might mean its market share might be broken up and eaten by smaller institutions. My bet on IT is simple,we're investing heavily into it.Movements will be made for this investment to start yielding returns.
