Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, aware that the fishing industry makes a major contribution to the economy by producing over Kshs10 billion in foreign exchange and further aware that the industry provides employment both directly and indirectly to many people; noting that the potentiality of the sector is under threat due to use of non- scientific ways of fishing and continued use of wrong fishing gear due to poverty levels affecting the fishermen; this House urges the Government to establish a Fund from which fishermen can be given grants and access cheap loans to help them acquire the correct and scientific fishing gear. Thank you, hon. Speaker."}
