    "content": "(Hon. Mvurya): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, these questions are substantial, and I promise that we will be giving this information as required. Our response to the first part of the question is as follows- the Liwatoni Ultra- Modern Tuna Fish Project and Tuna processing will serve fishermen from the entire Kenya Coastline and the foreign fishing vessel that are operating within the Exclusive Economic Zone. The State Department of Blue Economy and Fisheries is implementing phase one of the Liwatoni Ultra-Modern Hub which is scheduled to be completed in the next six months to pave way for the second phase which will be implemented through the Public- Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement. The Hub will also offer various services to the fishing vessels that will include bunkering of fuel at subsidized rates, water, and electricity to the visiting vessels. Secondly, we have the Kabonyo Fisheries and Aqua Culture Service and Training Centre of Excellence Project. The Kabonyo Aqua Culture Service and Training Centre of Excellence is a project that will cost Kshs1 billion. It is to be implemented by the Government of Hungary and the Government of Kenya. Phase one finances have already been provided. This project will entail the development of the Nile Perch Technology and Innovation Centre, Aqua Culture Resource Centre, and Kenya Fishing School. Besides that, it will include infrastructure, institutional and acquisition of technology for enhancing fish farming enterprises, upscaling of the existing production of the Nile perch, tilapia, and African catfish. It will also include the undertaking of new trials of cultured species, supply of water and electricity, and installation of equipment and training facilities. Further, this project will involve the adoption, domestication, and selective breeding of Nile perch, common cap and milkfish that will be expedited to increase the number of cultured species. The selectively newly bred cultured fish species will be extended to farmers for adoption for small medium and large-scale farming."
