Galana scheme gets clean bill of health after row among MPs

The House Committee on Agriculture has given the one million-acre Galana-Kulalu irrigation scheme a clean bill of health, just weeks after disagreements among members on whether it should be stopped.

Its deputy chairperson Kereke Mbiuki said they were satisfied with the review conducted so far, noting that the State had stopped sideshows that had diverted the project from the core business of irrigation.
