    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think hon. Ethuro is correct. Lake Turkana is actually twice as big as our portion of Lake Victoria. In terms of the fish biomass, I think it has got more than ten times what we have there. We have plans to see how best that resource can be utilized in terms of ensuring that the infrastructure in those places is improved. This year, we had already factored in money to put in one boat there, especially to improve security and do monitoring. From the Kshs300 million that we got for control, monitoring and surveillance, one of the boats will be bought to be used in Lake Turkana as a first step. You are very much aware that our research institute, the Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KEMFRI) has been carrying out expeditions there to see how best we can exploit that resource. I believe that from their findings and from the plans we were developing, we should be able to utilize this resource properly for the benefit of the people there and for the benefit of this country. I beg hon. Members that once we request for more funding and once the Budget comes here, we will remember that there are resources in some areas which are not utilized. So, some money has already been allocated to Lake Turkana."
