Kilifi Governor Amason Kingi has expressed disappointment in the Galana Kulalu food security project.
According to Governor Kingi the project which cost Sh 7.2 billion was a scam that was bound to happen.
He further continued saying that more than Sh5.9 billion used in the project had yielded minimal returns.
The project was initiated by the national government with an aim of addressing food insecurity in the country.
In addition it also falls under President Kenyatta’s big four agenda.
Kingi said when the project began, the counties questioned the move as to why the national government was pouring a lot of resources to a function that was already devolved.
“It’s not that the county must be given the mandate to do agriculture, that mandate is already with us through the Constitution, it’s a devolved function. Sadly, the national government never gave answers to their questions regarding the project,” he said.
