Re: [youthagendayln] Why villagers oppose Yala rice project

Oketch,

Very intriguing questions you ask of these people opposed to development in Nyanza.

The issue here is critics should take the opportunity to visit the farm to see and judge for themselves before 'band-wagoning' to the kind of rally Nyanza is trying hard to move away from.

We support developments that bring direct benefits to the local inhabitants and surely this farm has delivered beyond that expectation. When will we Nyanza people ever stop outsiders from spoiling projects of benefit to us!

Chris and Linus, please realize that your sponsors want the project moved to their own area and for themselves.....

We stand by the farm in Nyanza and we will resist outside coalition or outside grass root sponsors from interfering with this development project.
