    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker for this opportunity to also add my voice to this Motion. It is my recommendation that Hon. Martin Ogindo is best suited to head this very potentially lucrative Kenya Fish Marketing Authority. I say so because the blue economy is the future. It is the growing economy that this country must take advantage of to help our citizens make profits, grow their assets and also create employment. In particular, I celebrate that Hon. Martin Ogindo comes from a fish growing community. Therefore, organically, he has all knowledge about fish from the time the eggs are hatched until we have fish in our supper or lunch plate. He has both local and academic knowledge about fish farming and marketing. Since Hon. Martin is a business graduate, there is no doubt that this is a candidate who knows the waters that he is going to navigate. I am particularly keen about this appointment because from the lake region, where my constituency of West Mugirango lies, we have rains throughout the year. We have a lot of wetlands which so far are not economically exploited to the benefit of the locals. Our communities have turned to growing trees on wetlands. With this appointment and assurance of fish market, it behoves us, particularly those who come from the lake basin and rain belt, to encourage our fish farmers to create ponds that will grow and farm fresh fish. This will then hit the market and make alternative income from The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
