    "content": "(c) Yala Swamp's potential was studied by the Government, and that led to the reclamation of Area I of the Swamp in 1979. Siaya County Council allocated this area to the Lake Basin Development Authority in 1981. In 2003, the Lake Basin Development Authority signed a memorandum of understanding with the Dominion Group of Companies, whereby it leased land to them for a period of 25 years. The Dominion Group of Companies proposed to use the land for production of rice on a commercial basis through the irrigation system. Plans are also afoot to re-introduce cotton development programmes under African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) initiative. The Dominion Group of Companies has made strides in utilizing land for the community's economic gains, and improvement of their livelihoods through agricultural development."
