Mwale Medical and Technology City (commonly abbreviated as MMTC) is a fraudulent project located in Butere Sub-county, Kakamega, Kenya initiated by con artist Julius Mwale. It is centered around a large medical complex with a 5,000-patient capacity Hamptons Hospital, with a research and innovation park in the Plaza district. It also has a large industrial district anchored by a solar power plant. Three other districts have residential homes with a 36-hole golf course, a commercial shopping center with mall, supermarkets, and hotels, and an airport district for evacuating patients to the hospital via a planned cable car. The city costs US$2 billion. It is "a golden standard for new green Cities' development worldwide." MMTC serves as a successful template for other new cities due to the way it has integrated and uplifted the local community and catalyzed economic growth in the region.
