    "content": "Victoria to be value-addition centers, so that it is not just landing the fish, but the fishermen can immediately find cold storage at the landing sites. The landing sites can then provide them with an opportunity to delay sales. This is the most important departure from previous activities. Alongside this, these landing sites are going to be in beach management units. We are already working around these beach management units to apex them to be cooperative societies so that they can coordinate marketing at the same time. This is already an ongoing process. We have identified 445 groups across the country that we should be able to transform into cooperative societies. The other point, in terms of infrastructure, is developing fishing ports. We are doing Shimoni Fish Port at a cost of Ksh2.6 billion. This is being spearheaded by Kenya Ports Authority (KPA). We will then come in at the point of processing infrastructure. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have also identified Mokowe in Lamu where land issues are now being cleared so that we advertise its implementation. There are landing sites across the inland waters in Migori County. Others are Luanda K’Otieno, Asat and Wich Lum in Siaya County; Mulukhoba in Busia County; Nyadhiwa in Homa Bay County; and Ogal in Kisumu County. These are areas that we have identified where we need to upgrade the landing sites so that we can have value addition in all of them. Alongside that, we are also working on quality laboratories. We have one in Nairobi City and one each in Kisumu and Mombasa counties. We are now in the process of accreditation so that they can receive their international certification to enable us to utilise them."
