    "content": "Fish is expensive today. We are importing expensive fish. I heard that we get salmon from Sweden and Norway. Why not keep our salmon here? Tilapia and some other species which I cannot remember their names come from China. We need to encourage even farmers in Kikuyu to rear fish. I know farmers in Kikuyu who rear and sell fish in Nairobi markets. The solution is not to say that we should not punish those who import by imposing a levy but to encourage local production. That is how we will save our foreign exchange reserve. Those who support the importation of fish are the ones who come from a fishing zone along the coastline or Lake Victoria. You should encourage our fishermen to rear more fish. We should also encourage the Ministry of Mining, the Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs to train our fishermen on how to protect the stock we have around the lake."
