Plans by an agricultural company Lake Agro Farm Limited, to launch a Sh20 billion farming project at the Yala Swamp in Siaya county have received a boost after the National Land Commission (NLC) allowed the project to take off.
A four-member committee of Land Administration and Management comprising commissioners Reginald Okumu, Esther Mathenge, Prof James Tuitoek and Tiyah Galgalo has allocated the organisation 17,048 acres at the expansive swamp for agricultural purposes, giving the country’s food security agenda a boost.
