Tatu City is a privately built and managed urban development near Nairobi, designed to attract investment and offer modern infrastructure where public services are often lacking. Run by the firm Rendeavour, it hosts 25,000 residents and workers, drawing a large share of Kenya’s foreign investment. But while touted as a model for Africa’s urban future, it has also sparked criticism over transparency, inequality, and ongoing legal and financial controversies.

Kenyan leaders dont invest in Kenyans they only build for foreigners to come and turn Kenyans into prostitutes. Kenya has never had leadership, only tribal thugs. Kenya does not manufacture anything for itself.
I dont trust europe media with african info es
The western media is currently obsessed with Kenya
Focus on your country and leave ours alone
As long as the Tatu "City" residents are taxed like they should be, I don't see an issue with it.
So what's the controversy again..
What controversy?
Western media develop topics from kenya only as if it is the only country in Africa.

So anything Good in Africa is controversy nkttt
As a kenyan they could have build better infrastructure instead, many people don't have electricity and there is no clean water around the country and roads, this is a heaven for less thsn than 1% of the population while the rest live in hell.
