    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I was contributing to the Motion by hon. Ng’ongo on fish and fish farming. I was suggesting that if this Motion is passed - and I hope hon. Members will have it passed, it will improve the livelihoods of our people, particularly those who depend on agriculture and fishing. As you know, this sector has been neglected or it is looked at as if it is for the poor. I am supporting the Motion because it will lead to expansion of farm produce and farm use, because most farmers along the rivers engage in vegetable, maize and livestock farming. I am sure that if this Motion is passed, it will increase the farm use by almost tenfold; you know the price of fish out there; when you sell a kilogramme of fish in an ordinary market where I come from you get about Kshs400. Therefore, I support this Motion because it will indirectly increase employment. You will find that most of our youth at the country side are idle; these farm activities will definitely reduce insecurity and will lead to a reduction in idleness."
