Only two comments seem to add anything to this deabte -


Vitalis Ndeda Dec 1, 2009 10:15 PM GMT Ms Silver Greenberg, what a load of unsubstantiated "facts" you spent time writing about. I am a local resident of the Bondo District and located 15 minutes away from yala swamp now Dominion farm. I have seen attempts to reclaim yala come and go. FACT: soon after independence a five year plan was set to develop yala swamp which was to see the construction of a hydro-power station. This was the actual start of the degradation of Yala swamp that led to massive flooding of yala plains. With this first attempt the whole community was displaced and part of our ancestral land in Ndiwo was submerged. Several attempts to develop yala failed and it played host to waterborne diseases. Villagers suffered bilharzia and serious malaria like never before.Today the dominion story is a David and Goliath Story, a harnessed river, employment, infrastructure and economy. The GoK failed,contributed in flooding yala, yet Ms Greenberg finds it prudent to write more on the little sacrifices that come with development than the positive attributes (Ref. Ghana's dam - today their wounds have healed and nobody thinks that Nkrumah was wrong in making this decision).

David Amakobe  Dec 1, 2009 1:02 AM GMT The first Yala Swamp Irrigation project was surveyed in 1980. I was an assistant irrigation engineer at the Provincial Irrigation Unit (PIU) in Nyanza then. The Swamp land is public land. The government was not able to get financing for the project unti 25 years later when Dominion came-up. In those 25 years all the do gooders never came to interview the locals about how best the land could be utilised, now Dominion is producing food, Ms Silver-Greenberg has shown up to say how wrong he is! This time around the so called victims are fakers and they need to be told as much. Dominion is not perfect but we need to improve on what they are doing not create some resentment among the locals. That is my take.
