The Commissioner said the government’s decision followed a careful review of the existing contracts on the state’s farm estates, declaring that the contracts were signed to the detriment of the State’s interests.

The Commissioner said a fresh bidding process would soon be initiated to bring in credible investors, in line with international best practices.
