LETTERS: Collapse of Galana Kulalu project huge blow to taxpayers

When construction of the 10,000-acre Galana Kulalu model farm commenced on September 11, 2014, Kenyans thought that food insecurity, especially in the coastal region, would be a thing of the past. The project had promised to bring down the cost of Kenya's staple food (maize) to Sh75 from then Sh120 in 2015.

Five years down the line and the upshot from the mega project that purported to reduce food insecurity is the alleged loss of an estimated Sh5.9 billion with the downing of tools by the contractor, Green Arava of Israel.
