"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for the opportunity. I want to support the Motion on the Ratification of the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies. Fish is a staple food in Kenya. The story has it that consumption of fish provides Omega-3 which helps in brain development. For any family that wants to have a lot of calcium in their bodies and Omega-3 that feeds into developing brain power, fish is the best diet for them. Our country has been importing fish for the simple reason that we are not producing enough for our local consumption. This agreement will help in the importation of fish to cater for the shortage that we have as a country but, as a nation we need to put emphasis on growing more fish, both in our lakes and outside our lakes. We also need to preserve species of fish that are rare in our country such as the Nile Perch that attract a lot of market outside our borders. In the last two years, we tried to impose certain tariffs on imported fish but that was defeated. We wanted to pay a lot of attention in growing more fish to service our country. There has been something going on in our blue economy which relates to the fishing industry. This is about stock taking which my friend, Hon. Kangogo, is aware of. Why do we take stock of fish in our oceans and seas? The results of the stock taking gives a global quarter. Not all countries can fish, import or export fish, without international players. Stock taking has been happening. It is from these results that we get our quarter as a country on what we need to fish and exploit to the outside market, particularly tuna and sword fish which attract a lot of market in the international community. This agreement is important. It will create a level playing field to countries that participate in fishing as a trade. I support. Thank you."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank Members who contributed to the Motion on Ratification of the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies. This treaty has been adopted by so many other countries; about 65 countries. Even if we do not ratify it as a country, it will be operational. The treaty will benefit us as a country and, therefore, there is need for us to adopt it so I thank Members who have contributed. Where they have raised concerns like the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party… I want to thank the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Owen Baya. He contributed immensely on the fisheries’ regulations. The regulations cure what the Malindi Court pointed out when it nullified the Fisheries Amendment Act, 2016. I want to assure Members who have raised concerns, and the fishermen in western and coastal parts of Kenya, that the new fisheries Bill which is before this house – it come for the First Reading – is going to cure all the concerns. I do not want to say much. I beg to reply. Thank you."
