Galana Kulalu irrigation scheme is one of the Jubilee government’s most-ambitious projects that if implemented well can become a model in Africa.
The project is planned to cover a million acres for food production, which will be a major boost for food security. In fact, according to projections, Galana can feed the whole country and leave surplus maize for export. Yet, while still taking its baby steps, it is already running into headwinds. The latest revelation by a Parliamentary committee that the project be suspended is the strongest yet opposition to face Galana Kulalu irrigation scheme.
