A Kenyan living in the US has been named as one of the brains behind a Sh600 billion project for the construction of Akon City in Senegal.
Senegalese-American singer Akon, whose brainchild the city is, entered a contract with US-based engineering and consulting firm, KE International early June.
KE International generated the initial $4 billion from investors and will use it to finish the first and second phases of the city's construction.
Just like Akon, Mwale is also working with KE International to create his Sh200 billion Mwale Medic and Technology City project in Kenya.
Akon's city will be only the second LEED city in Africa following Mwale's Mwale Medical and Technology City.
