    "content": "for Garsen that we will be doing something there. However, we have a different programme for coastal areas. When it comes to trawling, the issue as far as I am concerned and from scientific evidence around, we banned trawling for the last two to three years but so far, we have not seen this translate into improved catches by the locals. The kind of gears that they use cannot allow them to capture prawns. Trawling is basically used for prawn capture. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we also saw that when you trawl and fish, they are done at different times. Some work during the day and others in the evening. Therefore, according to scientific evidence, trawling has no impact on the local communities. I want to assure the hon. Member that I will be going to meet the locals in the coast area so that we can compare what is scientific fact and generally accepted beliefs. After banning trawling for over two years, it never translated into any economic gains for the local people. We should get to the problem instead of just saying, let us ban trawling and then nothing else happens after that. We should, maybe, be thinking of how we can build capacity for these people to exploit prawns from the ocean."
