    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that Turkana Fishermen Co-operative Society is moribund. I am also not aware of the society by the name Lokichoggio Livestock Marketing Society. (b) The performance of the Turkana Fishermen Co-operative Society has been on a decline due to poor management, inadequate and inappropriate fishing gear, inadequate cold storage facilities on the landing beaches, general lack of skilled and experienced manpower, lack of designated and organized market for fish, poor road network and exploitation by fish traders and other middlemen. To address the problems facing the Turkana Fishermen Co-operative Society, our Ministry has undertaken the following measures:- (a) facilitated a feasibility study to establish the viability of the society; (b) facilitated the preparation of a business development plan to restructure the society; (c) intensified capacity for members, staff and management committee in readiness for the revival of the society; and, (d) finally, the Ministry has prepared a Kshs96 million rehabilitation project proposal and has submitted it to the Treasury and other development partners for consideration."
