The Government has been challenged to offer incentives to make the Sh1.48 trillion technology hub, Konza City, attractive to local investors. Nyatike MP Omondi Anyanga said the Jubilee government should be worried that the mega project, envisioned to be Kenya’s Silicon Savannah, has so far attracted only foreigners and multinationals.

Besides lack of incentives, he said failure by the ministries of ICT and Industrialisation to aggressively market Konza is the reason local technology entrepreneurs are shunning the ambitious project.
