Inside Africa’s biggest Smart City, Konza Technopolis and why Kibaki’s legacy lives on | LNN

[@LynnNgugi]

Hello team LNN❤ Always nice seeing here:) What is your take home from today’s episode?

[@collinsamani6964]

Is a good initiative. Need to be known by investors. Did a song to advertise it called konza city imara by dreamzyk

[@Ken_W254]

@@LynnNgugi Kenya is a great country. It only lacks good leadership from the top due to bad politics.

[@chrisamoi8663]

Would want to know this. Now that they have already built the horizontal infrastructure and yet investors haven't come to set up the vertical infrastructure. Are they worried that the mess that comes with constructions will destroy this beautiful roads and walkways?

[@kw_akafarmer4058]

​@@Ken_W254this is a country of the blind who are led buy clueless opportunists playing agency, as it were, to unscrupulous mono-eyed and borderless buccaneers masquerading as development partners.

[@shannelmarcie6011]

According to information available, an acre of land in Konza Technopolis for a residential area is not sold outright, but is instead leased, with prices varying depending on the specific location and lease terms, but generally estimated around Ksh 24,000,000 per acre.    Key points to remember: No individual ownership: In Konza, land cannot be individually owned, so there is no "purchase price" for an acre; instead, you lease the land.    Lease rates vary: The specific lease rate per acre will depend on the location within Konza and the type of development intended.

Leaders are quite different: some leaders like the late Hon Mwai Kibaki was thinking of developing a smart city from scratch; while some leaders are thinking of selling what was developed by other previous leaders. Selling JKIA, selling KICC tower, selling Hilton; selling,,,selling,,,selling. Not thinking of building anything; just flying to America, China, Germany, taxes, taxes, taxes.

If President Kibaki had another 10 years . Kenya would have been really far. The fact that these project is still ongoing is beautiful . Atleast we will tell the future generation that we once had a good president who thought of the greater good of Kenya. Unlike the ones who are destroying what our people fought so hard to have. If God blesses us with an innovative president, 1 more time, I am sure Kenya will be untouchable.

[@stanmiano6995]

Thank Nyambura for bringing this good gentleman to give an update on Konza city development. Unfortunately, over 13 years into the project and not much to show for. Ethiopia borrowed the concept a few years ago, currently there have finished n absorbed over 60,000 of their unemployed population in into their finished project. Most likely, Konza city is another government cow. Please invite Dr. Ndemo, who was the key brain behind Konza city to come and give citizens some insights on this project. I think this project has become too political. The former ICT CS initiated a similar project in the central region, which made no sense. These are international projects and requires cohesiveness.

It's good to hear all about the Konza development progress.Late president Kibaki would surely be proud. I am always excited to watch the progress updates. Glad to hear that Konza management is doing something about wildlife management. I am just curious to know if the neighbouring communities around Konza technopolis are involved in the wildlife management. I came to see a property around the Konza neighbourhood in 2022 but my heart sank when I saw the skin of a zebra on the land and felt like the settlement is interesting with wildlife conservation. It could be that the zebra had died out of drought. I hope the wildlife will be protected by all and sundry.
