The completion of construction works at the Galana-Kulalu Food Security Project’s siltation basin and water canal marks a significant milestone in actualising the long-awaited food production initiative.
The Sh519.4 million infrastructure is now undergoing final testing. It comprises a 753-metre inlet canal, a 450 million litre-reservoir, a 1,210-metre outlet canal, and a 20 million-litre off-take water supply source.
Through a public-private partnership, we are now poised to significantly scale up food production in line with our commitment to making Kenya food sufficient.
On Friday, President Ruto inspected the completed works at the Galana-Kulalu Food Security Project in Kilifi and Tana River counties.
He also inspected the construction of the Galana-Kulalu Bridge and access road, a critical infrastructure that will facilitate the efficient movement of produce from the farms to markets.
Later, the President inspected the construction of the project’s electricity supply, which will lower the cost of production by eliminating the use of diesel to power the farm.
