We are no longer heavily dependent on agriculture. We are leaning more towards service dependency. Konza is therefore poised to be one of the anchors on which the country\u2019s economy will grow\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The CBK Deputy Governor further noted that the facility\u2019s capacity is comparable to Data Centres in developed countries, thus placing Kenya on the path towards transforming into a knowledge-based economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe National Data Centre here at Konza is very impressive. I have been to data centres in European countries and one can easily see a lot of similarities. The facility is big, has very modern security capabilities and can easily accommodate expansion, should the need arise\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>The National Data Centre currently hosts data for 10 key institutions in the country drawn from both public and private sectors.<\/p>\n<p>With the Data Centre already certified to global standards, KoTDA is keen on attracting Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) to Kenya through its data services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cData is now becoming as important as money.
