Don’t play politics with Konza City, CS Charity Ngilu warned

By appearing to trigger controversy over ownership of Konza City, Lands Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngilu is being accused of frustrating the implementation of the Konza Technology City project, which Makueni leaders say will propel the county into a key pillar of Kenya’s economy.

 “Unless someone wants to forestall development by making it seem as if there is infighting, there shouldn’t be a row over the project at all. There was an attempt to transfer Konza to Machakos when the project was mooted, but that plan was not because it was unconstitutional,” says Makueni Governor Kivutha Kibwana.
