    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The fish ponds constructed along the shores of Lake Turkana by the Italians were not utilized as was projected with the inception of fish farming in Turkana. This was because of the following. One, the ponds were faulty and had high water seepage. This was compounded by a high evaporation rate which required that water be pumped continuously. Secondly, the water pumping required the installation of new solar panels. The initial panels failed to work in high temperature conditions since they were suited for low temperature environments. (b) In the implementation of the Aquaculture Program in Kenya, the Ministry undertook a National Aquaculture Suitability Appraisal in the year 2009/2010 and developed a National Aquaculture Suitability Maps for all the 210 constituencies in order to guide the implementation of the program. Based on the suitability maps, the larger Turkana region was found not to be among the high potential areas for construction of conventional ponds for aquaculture."
