the lady in red blouse and black jacket nailed it,....'if you invest in knowledge based economy,invest in ICT and innovation,you grow industries and improve competitiveness of a country at a global scale'..this is why i am always against people who insist on graduates to do business and abandon their degree...a country can not grow on enterprise alone...if we invest in knowledge,ensure those graduates in ict,computer science,engineering,medicine get proper opportunities to grow their knowledge and skills,a country moves forward at a large scale,the knowledge and skills actually what grows tech industries and manufacturing sector hence business comes in automatically..the stories of selling clothes,starting MPESA shops or kununua ploti na kujenga will never grow a nation.
Well Put!!
Kununua ploti nakuanzisha mpesa kiosk😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
8:33 Kenyan delegation don't have pens and notebooks
8:42 Korean delegatuon taking notes.
That's what makes the two countries different. We should be serious in order to reach them.
Am a big Fan of CHAMS Media, you guys always have the best episodes - Very informative and innovative
A country with strong collective consciousness can achieve whatever it set to reach.
at the start of this amazing video, what got me thinking is when the profesa said that south korea imported raw materials since they are poor in that aspect...here we are in Africa,Kenya...we have all the resources but we lack the discipline and determination to move forward
Kenya is poor in resources too.
Dr. Ndemo should be the CEO of Konza City.
Please tell me where is konza
Pro trick : watch movies on flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies recently.
@Gregory Ace Yup, have been using Flixzone for months myself =)
Am stuck between attracting "INVESTORS" or attracting "INFESTORS".... let's hope the incompetent , greedy ,primitive and backward thinking politicians won't INFEST the project and repel genuine forward thinking INVESTORS as they nearly did with TATU
The CEO Tanui must work extra hard. His, is typical Kenya's usual tribal appointment. He looks weak and clueless. Evidently learning on the job.
I have traversed South Korea and I'm sure Konza needs a strong personality to achieve the founder's dreams. Tanui is strategically there to guard specific interests of gluttonous politicians who view the project as silent catchment for corruption.
dont be petty
Glad you observed that too. This John Tanui guy and his entire team is a joke him n his joy riders should be dissolved 10 years down the line and he has no shame showing off one building. Asians take just a mere month to complete a tower he has not completed a simple building in fck 10 years. Wtf is he telling us?
@@jeffchurum1431 kalenjin loves public jobs.no accountability is required like private sector.. thats why they are going crazy hearing their looter in chief might not make it..you dont find many in private sector for obvious reasons..
Before joining the Authority,Eng.Tanui was Deputy Country CEO and Vice President Huawei Technologies,Eng Tanui has worked in several countries in Africa and also in China. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree of Technology in Electrical and Communication Engineering and MBA in International Business.
Before critiquing a person, kindly get to know their qualifications. Engineers are not so much fluent people but good in conceptualisation and planning. The best CEOs in the world are Engineers fyi.
@@jkiplimo78 why can't we see the work he's done tho... you can have all the papers in the world but people want to see results
The Kenyan delegation look like they are on vacation. No writing materials, just attending. And kuongea, they are the best, most eloquent speakers in all of Africa, but action, zilch, nada, zero, nil, nothing! This is like comparing a Lamborghini with a nduthi. If the little we got we cannot even bring to a world class status, how’s a brand new tech city going to happen??? This is another pocket money making project for the corrupt fat cats. Excuse my harsh language CHAMS MEDIA, but that’s the truth. I’m so grateful for the enlightenment you are bringing to us from around the world. You are doing great though!
Corruption is bad. I hope Kenya will fight against it.
Ha ha they give GOLD MEDALS FOR CORRUPTION.
He is saying there were some interference but the Governement stepped in.
Jubilee tano teno...
@@shamimaoko ???????
The best way to change things in a nation is through mass peaceful protest. When a million people show up at the capital building at the same time, there is nothing they can do to control it. It's very powerful. The people are the real power. Unfortunately governments work hard to suppress that kind of organization, and attack anyone who grows in prominence to send a signal to shut up and stay down. But if you can organize a mass movement of peaceful protest, that's the best way to gain global attention and force things to change. In order to do that, you'd need clearly defined goals and have everyone on the same page, focused on the same fight and same goal.
God bless you CHAMS Media for your constructive journalim. You love Kenya and have the interests of our country at heart. Keep on shining.
Lets give Kibwana opportunity to lead this country as President
JMuchoki. He was the only kenyan delegate with a pen and note book. This country needs a wake up and stop voting along tribal lines.
Awesome From ChamsMedia
Great stuff Chams media. Keep us informed.
Thanks Chams Media, you never disappoint...this is quite an insightful piece!!! .......that said, I hope that even after world class infra, KoTDA will do enough to attract tenants......from the word of of the professor at Korea Land & Housing, if attracting the investors is not done well, such project can fail.....my only hope i that this is done right, my only reservation is that if this this is done to gain short term political mileage.....keep tabs:)
Those who were on the trip were not even technocrats but mere "politicians" who were on a joyride as is customary to them. We are used to such trips by politicians as they did recently during the world cup in Russia and the Olympics in Rio just to fleece the taxpayers' money of the long suffering Kenyan people. What became of the SGR?
You can have all the raw materials but if you don't have the scientist...good leaders . .rule of law ...forget about development
Wow! Here it is....let me watch then drop my opinion.
Kenya has a lot way from being a korea.korea has some of the smartest kids in the world.we have to do more to raise smart people otherwise people with vested interest will highjack the project.
The speed and zeal of this project is wanting
Great piece Chams, just thinking aloud why the good DR. B. N not running his pet project? I hope it has nothing to do with 'eating'.
He is not in the development committee nor in ICT ministry
right brain - wrong tribe
@@maskanipoa5348 I'm scratching my head hoping that you are wrong...wishful thinking?
He was fired
Well captured bwana Alex. I like the positive aspect you portray and the general pessimism of the former PS, Dr. Ndemo. We are slow but will surely reach there. Key point is strong and committed leadership to own the project as a national pride.
Kenya cannot even grow simple POTATOES.
hey mr wilfred i work with real estate in nairobi if you want to invest in land near there contact me brother you thank me later
@@jaredogada5715 oh im not insane.
Thanks @Henry @Jared. Currently I am here and have seen such projects progress from the start to end. We already have a good vision and mission to fulfill the dreams. Like some of the people interviewed indicated, we need strong leadership.
Why is it africans make things complicated? It is amazing how a small city of less than 100k of population produce goods worth of 100 billion dollars.Why does the kenyan govt atleast come up with genuine policies to create good environment for growth of the economy?
Secondly,Bitange Ndemo is one of the most brilliant kenyans who would be of great service to the country.He would have made a great CS in charge of IT and communication.
Great show #AlexChamwada
Most of those in government positions don't have the academic credentials , skills , knowledge, vision etc
Wonderful
Dream
konza a live and kicking
I can always expect Great news from this channel. Problem with Kenya is cuddling implementation of projects which ends up becoming incompetent and as a results money gets looted and projects are not done to the best of our ability because everyone wants a share of the funds put in place. If our weak judicial system that favours the rich and corrupt could change and people put in place are held accountable, then Kenya could be very far ahead.
That head of the Korean city said people initially want to commute to the new city. They should widen Mombasa road to allow people to do this...
Beautiful piece..it will take us long though..
That's the mentality that we can't afford are we inferior to Koreans? Or are we lazy? Elaborate what you mean when you say a long time
@@jabalimohamed1983 do I really need to elaborate anything...
@@antonnyogembo1567 what do you think?
@@jabalimohamed1983 if we can't fight corruption and reduce on it then we can't move forward..We have brains but the funds are in politicians pocket..I rest my case
@@antonnyogembo1567 then what do you think we should do? Maybe stop electing politicians on ethnic base and elect on agenda actual leaders how about that
The lady in the red blouse was a bit unfair when she said that the GDP of Kenya and Korea was more or less the same 50 years ago. That’s highly inaccurate. Koreas GDP has always been vastly greater than Kenya’s and therefore had a head start.
But the rest of her points about investing in knowledge based economies, ICT and innovation were valid.
The ICT cabinet secretary worked for Google, its possible ,but corruption misplaced priorities. It will be tatu city problematically.
They should have contracted the Chinese to lay down the infrastructure. They would have laid down everything within two years and therefore attracting the techno companies to start setting up.
If they do it through Kenyan companies, corruption and mismanagement of funds is inevitable hence why the project is stalling. 6 years later, only one building stands solo in the middle of nowhere. Quiet a shame really.
Africa is endowed with Natural resources, that we can be the Wealthiest Continent on Earth, but many Countries leaders are fail to tap into greatness of our beloved Continent
No visionary leader, all the want is to acquire mass wealthy, that can sustain their family, tribalism, Nepotism also contributed to lack of progress in many Countries in Africa, leaders are not Chose base on competent, merit, rather base on Ethnicity. The day our People forget about tribal Politics, and go for merit, then liberation come
You eating wrong books.
Look at Kenya's delegation to Korea and you will understand where the problem is. I can guarantee you that 90% of that delegation cannot use a simple smart phone to it's full potential. How you expect them to understand deep tech? Send young passionate people to such missions and you are guaranteed to see change. These ones go for such trips to amass personal per diem rather than learn.
Yes they should send young people
exactly fahm.
Per diems my friend
true
Kenyans are takers ,they are not result oriented,all they think about is short cut of making money,we luck learders with vision.
Change starts with YOU stop pointing fingers and work for a country you want to see
Soon Tanzania we gonna do like them under Magufuli
You can't achieve that in 10 years mayb if Magu wil stay for 40 yrs in power, you'll always be behind the east Africa leaders Kenya and Rwanda
Magufuli has only 4 projects to show 4 years later . kazi ni kujigamba tu bure
I wish Kibaki could have lead this country for 50 years
It's not really poverty if all your neighbours are rich #exports
TECHNO CITIES AND SUCH PROJECTS SHOULD BE LEFT TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON DELIVERING BREAD AND BUTTER ISSUES TO CITIZENS.LOOK AT THE MWALE CITY IN WESTERN KENYA MORE PROGRESS THERE.LETS CONCENTRATE ON BIG FOUR AGENDA AND SELL KONZA TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR.
South Koreans built their smart city in 6 years. Kenya' s Konza City started in 2009/2010 when it was known as Malili City (whiteafrican.com/2010/01/28/malili-kenyas-planned-technopolis/) 2020 is 11 years down the line...my fellow Kenyans we can do better...
to be fair it broke ground on a more recent date, mainly due to funding. that said yes, doing better should be on the minds of everyone.
what about the health hazards?
Check out on this city in Kakamega (mwale medical and technology city). This Konza thing is still in bargain
Ya it's coming up
👍💖
I'M FROM BRASIL
Bitange Ndemo was working good I don’t know why he don’t have the job
we waste good people like ndemo and rush to beijing to hire guys who despise us!
I don't see enough green spaces in this city. It is our opportunity to do it right, grabbers should be kept out of Konza project.
Local companies has been allocated space.for what? speculation.seventeen of them doing nothing but speculation.
do we need smart cities? What about regular cities that doesn't kill the environment and people?
I Like your reasoning Grand plans will NOT solve our problems just simple solutions to simple problems which are sustainable.
TRUE
How about smart cities that don't kill the environment and people?
@@NegSteLucie they are expensive to build and redundant since we already have regular cities..
Smart cities are meant to solve some of those environmental problems and find more inexpensive ways of doing things. They are where key new environmemtally friendly technologies can be developed and implemented.
In the long term, there can be massive economic and social gains from them.
They did it in 6 Years 🤔
In Africa we blessed with so much yet cursed with worst of the worst leaders. Kibaki uko wapi, uliachia vichana homework hawakufanya!!
What about the slums?kenya got one of the largest slums in africa,are you saying those in ghettos will then move into those buildings?!,come on!!!
Ha ha
Ghetto folks don't bring much need foreign reserves, international investors do. It called trickle down. They will get jobs, don't be jelly imperialist.
@@meganmegan6214 u will have to start HEDGE FUNDS..
@@meganmegan6214 you mean those apartments are build or will be build just for imperial masters?Is that what you mean,wow!
@@erastusadolf5594 you answered your own question.
Just in dream
Never be reality
why you say that
Tonui dont look proactive
Why do africans have to look elsewhere for inspiration when we are the original master minds of the planet
I don't think that will move Africa and Diaspora Africans forward as much as possible. When the USA wanted to make great weapons they found the best minds in the world to do so. The Koreans took existing ideas and reverse engineered them. Of course you want the best ideas on the African continent. But don't limit to Africa. Europe and Asia had no problem taking ideas from other lands and inspiration from things they saw wherever they went, including African ideas.
That won't happen in Kenya. Instead people will become wealthy or if it ever happens, it will be after 20yrs not a 2030 as planned.
@@unlockwithjsr it won't happen soon if that's what you are implying. It will be after 20 years based on the way Kenya operates.
they just need to pickup how they deal with corruption
Chamwada this will give me heart attack coz am sure even those delegation won't bring any change,instead they will end up killing the project,and btw where is Bitane ndemo coz he was the face of Konza???
In kenya this is mission 2100
Such projects need a good visionary dictator, sio hii kamwana ya Uhuru mwenye wezi wanamfuata wakimchekelea
Uhuru Kenyatta failed us on this project. We need stronger leaders and resilient governments employees who have a passion to fulfill so such kind of projects like Konza can survive to reality. Kibaki if you were young we would have voted you another 5 years or more to complete this wonderful project you started unfortunately we have a danda heads in suits running the government hata nashidwa waliacha akiri huko South Korea ama its coz these leaders live in comfy homes and assumes that everyone else is a fool.
Poor Leadership, Corruption our first take in every move, Wajinga sisi
Couldn't they just focus on actually having food before trying to make a smart city?
Why would you think we don't have food sir?
Because he is stupid..he is confusing South Korea with North Korea.
Kenya dont give chance to people who have knowledge the bisy on tribalism
engineers are replacing farmers, technology replacing jobs. what if people don't want to do that kind of work that replaces their old jobs? what about humanity?
Nature. Natural segregation & survival for fittest

@@soupgod1448 good stuff!
@@erastusadolf5594 pessimists like you need to leave to leave this country.
Taking Kenyans to S. Korea is good but first we must kill corruption in Kenya to develop to this level, by 1980, Kenya was a head of Germany. Now Germany is miles away in terms of development.
@Mwaniki Mwaniki read Germany history till the Berlin wall was brought down
Germany was still richer than Kenya in 1945 during the war when berlin was brought down
You're lying bro Germany has been developed as be 4
Be careful wananchi!! Technology doesn't mean freedoms but plugged in..just know others outside Kenya will have the power to control your cities , homes etc...research and decide if you are comfortable with it..if you are , well and good ....
Am not pessimist but I see another
Big white elephant project.
@@unlockwithjsr Youre delusional, or part of the government
@@unlockwithjsr Talking about a problem is the first step in creating a nationwide consciousness and then addressing it. Every homestead needs to talk about corruption and this bad governance.
You cant fight about something you're not fully aware off, and finally, we need to take the talk to the ballot and to the streets.
PS every Kenyan contributes to our economy as every Kenyan is paying taxes every day

The American president Donald Trump said Africa is a shit whole. It’s a matter of time, we will show him. Wake up Africa we can’t take no more humiliation.
This John Tanui and his entire team are a joke! him and other joyriders should be dissolved. 10 years down the line and he has no shame showing off a single building. Asians take a single month to complete a tower sio hiyo flat unatuonyesha hapo. Jeez! Wtf are they telling us? Nonsense!
sorry but I don't think this will ever be realised. Not in the way we envisaged it atleast. Too much systematic corrupton in this country. You want opportunity and better quality of life, look elsewhere
