    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, fishing is no longer a preserve of people around natural water bodies. We have moved significantly to fishing ponds and other forms of artificial water bodies. I would suggest that we look a little bit more comprehensively at how we can support the industry beyond supporting the fishing folk. As somebody from Nambale, I would strongly urge that we begin to look at possibilities of expanding fish farming to areas that are not natural water bodies. As has been suggested by some hon. Members, it would be a major opportunity for our youth to find gainful employment and generate income. As you know, significant fish production has moved away from Lake Turkana and Lake Victoria into the hinterland of Kenya. It is gaining ground and attraction. We should accept that trend. Therefore, we should be a bit more creative in the kind of intervention that we are going to provide for our traditional fishing folk."
