"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, the issue that fish breed in Kenyan waters and migrates to Tanzanian and Ugandan waters is not scientific at all. That is a view that was repeatedly propagated on this Floor by the former Member of Parliament for Nyatike, Mr. Ochola Ogur. I believe Dr. Khalwale took it literally. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have said that there is a process to create harmony between the three States. Once it is done, the arrest of fishermen that is repeatedly done by Ugandan and Tanzanian authorities--- Wherever it is done, we intervene and get them released. There is also an allegation that Kenyan fishermen, who are more aggressive than their Ugandan and Tanzanian counterparts, use nets that scoop out fish, including fingerlings. We have advised the authorities to give proper advice to the Kenyan fishermen as to what kind of gear they should use so that, when they are caught up in the waters of our neighbouring States, the only offending thing should be that they are in other territorial waters, rather than using illegal gear."
