    "content": "THAT, aware that Lake Victoria is a strategic and an economic resource to Kenya and the primary source of livelihood security for the basin’s human population and source of revenues and economic growth for the regions of the catchment basin; further aware that the lake is the second largest in the world as well as the source of White Nile and is shared between Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania; concerned that there are numerous security and transportation challenges ranging from attacks on fishermen and external aggression facing the residents and investors around the catchment areas of Lake Victoria particularly on the islands in the lake; further aware that no humanitarian and rescue services are easily available to casualties of accidents and attacks since the Government has not invested in any security patrols and ferry services; this House resolves that that the Government establishes a free ferry service and an equipped marine police and naval patrol base in Lake Victoria."
