Galana Kulalu is one million acre project. So ni mkulima gani Bongo ako na million acres ?… wacha utoto na ujinga !…😆😆
Mpaka mnatia aibu🤣🤣🤣
Located in Kilifi and Tana River Counties, about 105 km northwest of Malindi, and bordering Tsavo East National Park .

Yaan hata acre 30,000 hamjafikisha Tena mnategemea investor.
Project Ina miaka 11 hata robo hamjakamilisha.
Yaan mpaka sasa mbarari irrigation project ya 24,000 acre imeshawaacha mbali kumbuka kuna project za almost 2mil acres ziko katika hatua mbalimbali

Designed as a large-scale irrigation and agribusiness scheme, incorporating crops (maize, sugarcane, horticulture), livestock, aquaculture, tourism, processing and settlement .

When fully realized, it aims to cultivate up to 200,000–250,000 acres, with a dam project planned for a further 350,000 acres expansion .
Project Timeline & Current Status

Initial Phase:

Launched under Jubilee Government in 2013, engineered with Israeli partners.

Stalled in 2019 after termination of the contractor amid allegations of mismanagement and low output (119,000 bags on 10,000 acres against projections) .


Revival:

In January 2023, President Ruto directed the PPP route to revive and scale the project: initial development on 10,000 acres, plus 10,000 acres in the medium term, and the planned Galana Dam for further expansion .

Selu Limited is operating on the model 10‑17 K acres and reported record maize yields of up to 35 bags per acre in 2023 (around four times the national average) .
Public-Private Partnerships (PPP)

Selu Limited signed a PPP agreement to cultivate 20,000 acres, building from its pilot success; projected production includes 720,000 bags of maize and 160,000 bags of soybeans per year over 30 years .

Al Dahra Group (UAE) inked an MoU to invest ~$800 million for cultivation of about 180,000 acres, contributing to the overall aim of 200k+ acres under irrigation .

Infrastructure Developments

The government completed Sh519.4 million (~USD 3.5 M) key irrigation infrastructure: a 753 m inlet canal, 450 million-litre reservoir, 1,210 m outlet canal, and 20 million-litre off-take sump. These are in final testing as of mid‑2025 .

A 54 km power line and substation are under construction (costing ~Sh2.9 billion) to electrify the scheme, cutting maize production cost from Sh24 to Sh14 per kilo when complete by mid‑2026 .

A 200 m bridge and supporting access roads (costing Sh1.5 billion) improve logistics for transporting inputs and produce .

Impact & Benefits

Expected to produce roughly 20 million bags of maize annually once fully functional on the 20,000-acre phase, reducing Kenya’s annual maize import dependence (≈41% of domestic consumption) .

Economic spillovers anticipated: agro-processing, livestock feed production, export-ready output, job creation, and upliftment of local communities .



Mpaka mje mfikishe acre 1mil tutakuwa tuko kwenye 12mil acres na hapo hatutafutu wawekezaji wa kuja kutulimia
 
Wewe unaongea 2036 wakati tuko 2025 . By then unafikiri Kenya itakuwa wapi?… we will be playing in the league of Mexico … kaa kimya!😁😁
Mashamba mengi ya Tanzania production yake haijafikia maturity lakini growth speed yake ni kubwa kuliko .
Ntakupa mfano tu Mashamba makubwa ambayo Kenya huwez pata na hapo hatujaweka yale ya watu wa kawaida.

Tukija Kenya hakuna shamba la uwezo wa hata acre 3000 .
Inshort Mashamba ya maparachichi Tanzania kwa sasa ni mengi na makubwa kuliko hata korosho
 
Waaah enyewe tz ni takataka kabisa.
South Africa with a population of 64m wako na public service 1.4m, Thailand with 71m wako na 2.1m , tz with 68m has 500k!!!
Key word is poverty.
Teacher or doctor or police ratio to citizens lazma ni 1:10,000 😂
Nani aliroga hiii nchi!!
Acha kuwa fala zaidi ya nijuavyo, watu wana replace manpower na sophisticated technologies, serikali inatakiwa kuinvest kwenye mifumo kuondoa human error kwenye services delivery, ni ikulu yenu tu ilikua na wafanyakazi elfu 10 just a tiny house left by colonizers mpaka wanatakiwa wajengewe kanisa la billion 100 you can imagine how useless your civil servants are.

Marekani tu taifa kubwa limeondoa kitengo chake cha USAID kucurb over expenditures, ninyi malimbukeni fukara mnacollect 100 mnagawana 95 as salaries, 5 kwenye madeni na maendeleo na ufisadi 😂😂💀
 

Dah kummk.

Yaani for some reason unakosa hata neno la kusema na kuishia kushangaa.

Yaani kila uongozi hata uwe na ujinga vipi kuna vitu waafanya unashangaa kabisa.

I believe hii nchi tuseme kiongozi akija ghafla utasikia promo za kila sekta kumpaisha.


I think wanaompromote Mama wameokesea approach asee.

Walitakiwa kutumia approach nyingine like Achana na progaganda za kila sehemu mama hadi kwenye kiredio.

Instead progaganda iwe huku kwa economic development, yaani gari zikiingia tuseme zimamoto haina haja ya uchawa mwingi.

Unaenda unato speech on the importance of vehicles na usimamizi.unakazwa.

Kwisha haitaji hata "OKTOBA TUNATIKI"

I believe wengi humu hatupendi mambo ya Mama, mama kisa wanapoliticize everything.

Ingekua Mama ananunua alafu anafika kutoa short speech ansepa huku anakazia matokeo ya vitu vyake. Tusingefika kwa uchawa anafanya kaz fresh.
