      @@jymietv655 You have to understand the role of govt is to spend taxes. It is a loss making venture defined by politics. By investing in lossful infrastructure, it attracts investment (or facilities in this case) by taking the risk from the true investore. For ex., if Apple finds KE cost-effective for their ops and wants for move here, they will build their own offices / rent and build their core business infrastructure. What they won't do is build a water line all the way to Nairobi water. Because it is a loss making venture for them. But they expect water in their fancy corporate kitchens at Konza. It it the work of the state to do this. Thats why Konza has govt funding. Coz investors are only willing to go sofar. Will you want to work in a place where there are no basics like water, elec and food?

    3. Why are we attracting foreign investors instead of empowering local Kenyans?
    4. I heard him say that they have accommodation for foreign workers on site. Who was imported to do construction work?
    5. In Korea its about making it easy to live in the smart city. Konza seems like we are making it an expensive place to live.
    6. We are building a city near other towns yet we could upgrade a town into a smart city.
    7. Shouldn't we also allow people to construct their buildings according to master plan at the same time as Govt ones to realise the goal in time?
    8. Its time we get a full disclosure on Govt expenditures on Konza.

It's not some fancy thing being built to entertain the interests of the rich...rather, it's intended to create jobs, for the jobless. It's completion will mark the beginning of an entirely different Kenya.
      Those two projects are not comparable. Labda Eko Atlantic ingoje Turkana Resort City which will equally be targeting the same market group, serving comparable purposes.

Now we are being told on the Big Four Agenda, and the likes of Atwoli tell us that Uhuru must not leave the top Government positions because if he did, he will go with his dreams . If the dreams are viable and beneficial, why not convert them into national policies rather than Uhuru's? There were rumours that when the Nusu Mkate Government of Kibaki/Raila collapsed, some Ministers escaped with vital Master Plans for this thing Vision 2030 - and that is why nothing is happening of the 'vision'. Shall we ever have a vision of 2030 (Just under 10 years away) in our life time ? When I was born, I heard politicians yapping that every Kenyan will have clean piped Water by the year 2000. I am still waiting for that year to come. Just a few years ago, there was this thing about Universal Health care as a priority - I am still waiting for the prioritisation.
