Dr. Sonia Leads Konza Planning
Makueni’s Executive Committee Member for Lands and Urban Planning Dr. Sonia Nzilani today chaired a multi-agency technical team of the Konza Technopolis.
They are developing an Inter –County Buffer Zone Physical and Land Use Development Plan within a 10 km radius of the Technopolis.
The buffer area spreads across Makueni, Kajiado and Machakos.
The team comprises of surveyors, physical planners and environmentalists from Makueni, Machakos, Kajiado, Konza Technopolis Development Authority and Ministry of Lands and Urban Planning.
The new 10-year plan is intended to align the Technopolis Development Plan with that of the buffer zone so as to create a symbiotic growth.
The plan will also enhance investments attraction as the buffer area complements development at the Technopolis.
Some of the key strategic installations suggested for the buffer area include an Airport, health facilities, light industries, green spaces, water dams, University College (completion of Scott University) among others.
When completed, validated and approved by the three county assemblies, the plan will be implemented by the national government, the three county governments and other development stakeholders as envisioned in the plan.
Makueni’s Devolution CECM Japheth Mang’oka, Lands and Urban Planning CECM Machakos Phillip Kilonzo as well as CEC’s from Kajiado also participated in the event.
