This has been and will continue to be a major backbone of the blue economy and a support system for fishermen and other business institutions within the lake region and more importantly the only transport medium for thousands of Kenyan citizens who live on Mfangano Island; Noting, that there are a number of islands on Lake Victoria namely, Mfangano, Takawiri, Remba, Atego, Risi, and Ringiti, inhabited by over 30,000 people who purely depend on water transport inter-islands and the only way to connect to the mainland, and whom fishing is a source of income and support for livelihood;"
