@@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?

I get really happy seeing this type of innovation in Africa, I hope the city becomes a huge success and I'll definitely be one of the first visitors then when it's done
when they say 2022 for a government project, multiply that by 2 to the square root of corruption, divide by contractors/incompetence and finally square the answer by the fact that most kenyans are comfortable living in kibra and mathare.

Hey there Chamwada. I'm an your old student from the University of Nairobi school of journalism and would like to know how young people like me can invest to be a part of this project.
When we bring konza city together with Lapsset projects, Turkana pipeline, lodwar and isiolo resort cities, lamu port, 14 falls reconnaissance dam, mombasa-nakuru superhighway, standard gauge railway.... We'll far. Same standard with Japan, south Korea and others. We have good plans and vision but implementation is the problem.
Not really, I wish it was so but the current reality doesn't prove that. The corruption in the country. And the future threat of kenya in the future being china
This projects are suspect in the long run because they are foreign owned.Kenyans only provide cheap labour. That has happened before with EPZ and other foreign owned investiments here that only make money to develop their countries of origin.we should take care though the deal is already done.
the Nairobi expressway ikiisha, it will be one of its kind in East Africa Region...m amazed!! honegerni sana jirani..very impressive so to speak absolutely amazing

1. What is smart about Konza city? I see it being similar to any other city! 2. Have we learnt anything from existing cities to prevent a replica in Konza? I doubt! 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. Chams Media has brought a lot of things to light. 👍 Cheers!
One pattern I noticed with ALL ( literally ALL) your questions is that the answers are the EXACT reverse of the questions. Was this by design or have you just gotten it all reversed in your mind?
@@drivepals9678 That's a very good observation and a strong indication that potentially Kenya has the skills within its borders given the right leadership to reverse-engineer Konza city to achieve its objectives for the greater benefit of the country and its citizens. The bottom line is to constantly review the Konza plans to see if we are still on target not to complete it but to provide solutions to our multitude of multifaceted techno/socio-economic problems.
I have hope, lord Jesus let it be a success father, you have spoken much about this nation lord Jesus and I know with much faith in you plus prayers we can achieve this.
This uncontrolled development is also seen in major towns like Eldoret. Its difficult to tell where the industrial areas, cbd, residential areas etc. In fact Eldoret is much bigger than Kisumu but you can't tell bcoz Kisumu is very organized.
All you Kenyans disliking and trash talking are myopic thinkers. I am a software engineer and I think Konza City is the wisest decision a state can make. I do agree wameloot from this project na kuibackbench for long but its inevitable. This is where the next gen of engineers and thinkers begin. In the next 30 years, your 5 year old child now will develop tech solutions in Konza you can't even imagine now. Tools to enhance national security, fight corruption systemically e.t.c Or maybe tools to keep a rogue state in power, rig elections, spread state propaganda or vandalize tech infrastructure. Either way, tech is the only viable future for humans and this project deserves more support.
@@niknik4260 This is the sort of mindset we need to move away from as Kenyans. Tech cities are not meant to help you personally. They are long-term projects to promote product creation and innovation and hopefully, expand the economy. Bigger economy means more taxes and diplomatic influence for the govt. Google and Silicon Valley were directly funded by grants from NSA and CIA (thru proxies, of course) in its early stages. Now it is a giant. The popularity of Google (an american company) has increased American govt's influence around the globe. American govt still funds private tech sector well. So are Russians, Koreans, Chinese and Eurozone. Why shouldn't we?
@Jeremy Clyde,Tatu city is making a very good progress. The residential part has already received its first residents. And the industrial part has over 15 companies operating here and many more are near completion.
If you wanna change Kenya and build a new modern city, relocate the Capital from Nairobi to lets say Machakos or even further, let politicians go there and all the embassies and ambassadors...leave Nairobi as the finance center like New York but political head quarters be elsewhere far a way. You will see a huge new city, and Nairobi will be decongested pretty fast
As long as this project doesn't involve loans from the Chinese, Turkish, Indians or any other non-Africans, I'm happy. This city needs to be 100% beneficial for Africans...
Unfortunately they're the people with capital and anyone with capital is always king. That data center is financed by China and built by Huawei. Recall last year the president got $170 million?
"If we were going to do a Mlolongo or a Ongata Rongai we would have finished a long time ..." Hapo amenena. At least Konza will not be a mathogothanio city, like so many small towns across the country.
the best thing in this project is that the kenyan government only provides the infrastracture and the investors do the rest under supervision. it could turn out to be an african business and technological hub. companies like google tlc apple microsoft could land here easily. please nobody should mess this up. its damn brilliant
Been saying that for 10 years now. Better we count our losses and move on. Just cutting taxes is enough to make them come. Building a whole city is unnecessary
Excellent work Chams Media!.. Well researched,produced, good camerawork, drone shots are appealing, well scripted documentary. I like the whole documentary. keep it up.
In 2009, The Konza Technology City project was initiated with the procurement of a 5,000 acre parcel of land at Malili Ranch. 10 years later and drainage is all they've done? I dont know what Joe Mucheru is saying good work for. SMH!
some years were used in finding better ways of stealing money more than building. You know they steal first and use the remaining balance for building....now they are in phase two
I PRAY THAT GOD PROTECTS IT FROM BAD OMEN,LET IT BE SECURE,INVESTIGATE EVERY PERSON WHO WANTS TO DO BUSSINESS THERE OR ELSE IT WILL HABOURE BAD BUSSINESSES THAT WILL DESTROY ITS IMAGE
i think i have been watching chamwada report and there is a place you have not visited that we as local kenyas dont know or care about but plays a major role in the world .Italian space agency which in it contains a documented kenya space agency which is located in malindi it a key facility in research and communication and broadcasting yet many people dont understand the significance .We as kenya dont benefit from the facility since kenya space agency has not been commissioned yet its just a mistery that should be determined by the government
Konza City was launched more than a decade ago and still nothing is on the ground. Someone somewhere is stealing. So at least Uganda you dont have any expectations.
@@mussumbafelix But in uganda Even money for road projects is Being stolen, foreign aid for people Who are living a positive life was stole by a single Man and Nothing was done about it.
kenyans complain about everything.even now instead of appreciating the good progress its just negativity galore na watu wamesoma sijui anthropology pretending to know everything to do with building cities.
If someone doesn't know how to maintain his old car, getting him a new one doesn't help much. Ataiharibu tu. Nairobi is the old car. Konza is the new one.
I kife up on Kenyans. They see poverty instead of growth. They're hardworking people but hopeless and negative. Yet they're the ones voting for the leaders they accuse. Instead we need to pray for the leaders and remain positive. 🤦🏾♀️
In light of covid-19 what measures or lessons learnt is konza taking in the entire architecture of the project. Any changes, improvment's or additions being implemented since its still a green project?
The Now KAKAMEGA governor Wycliff Oparanya was the one that brought vision 2030 on Kibakis government he is founder of it what remained was the government to implement it of which........... we dont know how it will go with Uhuru money has been diverted
As a youth currently studying, hoping for a better future for my country Kenya. A country where development, infrastructure and technology is being put at the fore front making employment liquid and reliable for us is greatly encouraging and inspiring. Maybe there's hope.

Excellent work Chams Media!.. Well researched,produced, good camerawork, drone shots are appealing, well scripted documentary. I like the whole documentary. keep it up.
Many thanks
How is wish this pademic to end , ur show was great esp daring abroad
Great reporting 👊🏿🖤BLM KENYA 🇰🇪 MATTERS
Kenya's be positive when things are working and critical when not working this is a good project.
yes offcourse it is a good project but what about your government😂😂ni konza watajenga ama ni pesa wataiba kwanza??
@@Frank-il2my I said Kenyans not outsider.
Chams good work. In future never allow the data centre equipment to be video. It is a cyber security risk.
Noted
In 2009, The Konza Technology City project was initiated with the procurement of a 5,000 acre parcel of land at Malili Ranch.
10 years later and drainage is all they've done? I dont know what Joe Mucheru is saying good work for. SMH!
how about seeing the glass as half full instead of half empty for once nkt
It was initiated in 2009 but building started in 2017
@@cyantess8423 Come on brother, ten years gone and all they've done is the drainage? Please demand more from your government, I beg of you!
some years were used in finding better ways of stealing money more than building. You know they steal first and use the remaining balance for building....now they are in phase two
Haha
I love this, Team Chamwada!
I see alot of comments praising Kibaki but the same Kenyans called him a failure during his tenure.
We are also waiting Uhuru to retire so that we can praise him ( Iganagwo yari Iria Yakua) it’s our life styles us Kenyans
Typically Kenyan always complaining.
Very. Kenyan ever complaining and always sceptical
Please Kenyan Government,DO NOT MESS THIS UP
tell that to our politics ,hope that corruption will end before konza begins a new era
Thanks for this. I thought the dream was gone
I PRAY THAT GOD PROTECTS IT FROM BAD OMEN,LET IT BE SECURE,INVESTIGATE EVERY PERSON WHO WANTS TO DO BUSSINESS THERE OR ELSE IT WILL HABOURE BAD BUSSINESSES THAT WILL DESTROY ITS IMAGE
AMEN.
The ideas they have for waste management should be used NOW for dandora dumpsite an all other counties
I feel ..its a right time to take people of Kenya towards a town planning system & so later it becomes a way of life among communities. A good move.
It’s good for Kenyans to own the land than foreigners this is good 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿
i think i have been watching chamwada report and there is a place you have not visited that we as local kenyas dont know or care about but plays a major role in the world .Italian space agency which in it contains a documented kenya space agency which is located in malindi it a key facility in research and communication and broadcasting yet many people dont understand the significance .We as kenya dont benefit from the facility since kenya space agency has not been commissioned yet its just a mistery that should be determined by the government
Used to be more significant back in the 60s
I have been thinking of the same thing Martin. I think it is something that need to be hi-lighted
Hi Martin, noted, good idea
when will my country Uganda ever wake up and Follow kenya. So sad😥️😥️ we Need better leaders Who are Ugandans
Konza City was launched more than a decade ago and still nothing is on the ground. Someone somewhere is stealing. So at least Uganda you dont have any expectations.
@@mussumbafelix 😂😂😂Manze
@@mussumbafelix But in uganda Even money for road projects is Being stolen, foreign aid for people Who are living a positive life was stole by a single Man and Nothing was done about it.
Which Ugandans are you talking about In Uganda there is only one mganda for life m7 the rest are wastes I didn't insult I just cleared the air
@@mussumbafelix a corrupt mindset.
I like it. Very informative
It will be a game changer
In what way ..?
Good progress there
Are there plans for underground subway trains or even sky trains. Something we missed out on in Nairobi planning layout.
I mean electric trains in this case

That's very unfortunate for a smart city not to have state of the art transportation systems in place.
@@markleonkabaale2154 I don't understand either! This country needs efficient transport
@@nc9802 very true. We need to learn from our past failures
Kitengela is impressive with estate developmental
kenyans complain about everything.even now instead of appreciating the good progress its just negativity galore na watu wamesoma sijui anthropology pretending to know everything to do with building cities.
Agreed. Just negative about everything.
If someone doesn't know how to maintain his old car, getting him a new one doesn't help much. Ataiharibu tu. Nairobi is the old car. Konza is the new one.
I kife up on Kenyans. They see poverty instead of growth. They're hardworking people but hopeless and negative. Yet they're the ones voting for the leaders they accuse. Instead we need to pray for the leaders and remain positive. 🤦🏾♀️
It will be one of the best cities in our country.
In light of covid-19 what measures or lessons learnt is konza taking in the entire architecture of the project. Any changes, improvment's or additions being implemented since its still a green project?
Wow Big up to that woman!
The day uhuru got rid of kibaki's vision 2030 team this was bound to happen. It been over a decade now and konza only has a single building?
You must be a mad man! We are in 2020 not 2040,vision 2030 means the year 2030.
The Now KAKAMEGA governor Wycliff Oparanya was the one that brought vision 2030 on Kibakis government he is founder of it what remained was the government to implement it of which........... we dont know how it will go with Uhuru money has been diverted
As a youth currently studying, hoping for a better future for my country Kenya. A country where development, infrastructure and technology is being put at the fore front making employment liquid and reliable for us is greatly encouraging and inspiring. Maybe there's hope.
As a computer engineer I am proud of what the cs has done
Manze. Nkama tuko na cloud yetu sasa 💯
I need siz figures in AI or Blockchain startup that will arise
That was amazing just to see our future
