Three county governments have frozen development projects on land around Konza Technopolis. The devolved governments suspended issuance of development permits to provide time for the counties of Machakos, Kajiado and Makueni to come up with new guidelines, which will dictate how the land is used.

The suspension, which will last for 90 days, was communicated in a joint statement signed by county Lands and Urban Development executives Hamilton Parseina (Kajiado), Julius Mulwa (Makueni) and Evelyne Mutie (Machakos).
