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).

The county governments of Machakos, Makueni and Kajiado have suspended the issuance of new development permits around the Konza Technopolis area.
In a joint statement, the counties said the permits fall in the area falling within the ten-kilometer radius dubbed ‘Konza Planning Zone’.
The suspension takes effect immediately and will last for 90 days.
The decision was reached to enable a newly constituted Inter-County Joint Physical and Land Use Planning Committee to develop a plan to provide guidelines and standards for regulation of land use practices and general development within the zone.
