    "content": "However, the Ministry has proposed to develop-aqua parks in Todonyang’ using water from River Omo. This will be undertaken under the Fisheries Development Flagship Project for Vision 2030, developed in May 2012. (c) The Ministry’s policy is to provide basic fisheries related infrastructure such as cold storage facilities at auction centres in capture fisheries areas of Lake Victoria, Lake Turkana and the Indian Ocean. To this end, the Ministry encourages the private sector to put up fish processing plants in these areas. Currently, private developers who have applied for Nile Perch processing plants have been discouraged due to the poor transport infrastructure and lack of electricity. In the Ministry’s recently launched Flagship Project under Vision 2030, we intend to construct 12 solar-powered fish dryers and two cold chain facilities in the Lake Turkana region. This, we believe, will reduce post-harvest losses, improve fish handling, preservation and storage. We believe that this will attract prospective investors to establish fish processing plants in Lake Turkana region. The completion of the LAPSET Corridor and our initiatives will open up the great fisheries economic potential of Lake Turkana. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
