    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a Ministry of Fisheries Development and Members of Parliament from those areas. We all have a duty, particularly colleagues who represent areas that touch on the lake, to give constant advice to their constituents that, when they go to the lake to fish, they can only go so far and that, when they stray into the territorial waters of our neighbours, we have no jurisdiction over them. They should not do that. But as I said, it is difficult for the fishermen from rural areas to appreciate even the basic simple logic that Lake Victoria, large as it is, Kenya has only 6 per cent. The rest is Uganda and Tanzania. But our fishermen will wander all over the lake and whenever they are arrested, we always take the earliest available opportunity to contact our neighbours and have them released. In fact, in many cases, they are normally not charged. The only penalties they suffer is when they have illegal gear, which is normally impounded by Uganda and Tanzania."
