    "content": "prosecutes maritime law offenders in the lake. However, the Ministry has no budget line for compensation of affected families. Hon. Deputy Speaker, that is the Statement by the Cabinet Secretary. I wish to have some additional information because pursuant to that incident, the Committee visited Homa Bay on a fact-finding mission on 8th October 2021. During the visit, the Committee held meetings with the County Emergency Response Co-ordinating Committee under the chairmanship of the County Commissioner. The Committee also met key stakeholders including the Kenya Coast Guard, the Kenya Marine Authority, the Border Patrol Unit and the Beach Management Units. Some of the proposals received by the Committee, which will be incorporated in the Report, include facilitation of development and enactment of Homa Bay County Lake Transport Policy, sensitisation of Beach Management Units on lake safety, enhancement of the role of the Kenya Coast Guard and the Kenya Maritime Authority in policing the lake, enforcement of safety features, regular inspection of boats on sea worthiness, and registration of boats and training of crew. My Committee, in liaison with the relevant State agencies, will push for provision of patrol boats to the police, deployment of the Border Patrol Unit by the National Police Service and equipping of police officers based at Remba-Ringiti-Mfangano Islands with modern vessels mounted with night vision equipment to facilitate clearance of goods and persons entering and leaving the country. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
