    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a lot of money that can be raised from merchant shipping. As a maritime nation, we could probably even raise more of our national revenue from shipping; probably more than any other activity, including tourism. Whereas liner shipping is taken as revenue in tourism, it is in reality revenue generated from merchant shipping sector. We have more ships calling at the Port of Mombasa. Very soon, the second port of Lamu where I am sure--- More tourists will visit here rather than go to other maritime nations which probably offer more facilities for tourism than ourselves. We shall be in a position to contribute even more to the activities of small fishing vessels along our shores. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, right now, fishermen in Kenya do their fishing not more than 200 metres from the shore. In other words, we are making very little use of what we have as a natural resource for this country. Yet, we have more than 200 nautical miles into the high seas where we can exploit not only the fish, but also the minerals that lie in the bed of the ocean."
