    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will table it, but first, I would like to inform the hon. Member that the licence fees collected in the last five years are, again, as tabulated herein, which I will table. For distant fishing fleets, which include the passeinners and the long liners operating in Kenya's 200 nautical mile of EEZ, the licence fees required are, again, as tabulated herein, which I will table. I will also table the schedule showing the revenue collected over the last five years. (c) I have also tabulated the catch in weight for the trawlers in 2006 because, in 2007, we had not licensed any trawler. I will table that schedule. Further, I wish to indicate that there is no cess paid by the trawlers to local authorities. However, local communities benefit from being employed in the vessels and the processing plants. The net catch by the long liners and the passeinners is not known since the fish caught is not landed in the country. (d) My Ministry is undertaking the following measures to control and monitor trawling activities, which aim at promoting responsible and sustainable utilization of fisheries resources:- Law enforcement as stipulated in the Fisheries Act, Cap.378, Laws of Kenya, which in part states that there should be no trawling below the five nautical miles. That is why we stopped the other one."
