    "content": "I can assure you that this country can be a major exporter of fish. We have left our fish to the Japanese, the Koreans and the Chinese and we only have fishermen with canoes at the Coast, who fish only two kilometers inside the ocean yet we have 200 nautical mile which translates to 300 kilometres. You can imagine what we can do with that. So, I want to support that. Lastly, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as regards the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Act, I wish to say that I would not support what is being proposed here because this is a research organisation and any chairman of the board of this type of organisation must be a competent person, well qualified, a person who has been in research and can be able to steer the board very well. The way that it is now being proposed that he or she should not be competitively recruited and should only be appointed by the Cabinet Secretary downgrades this position and research is so crucial for this country. We need very qualified people. So, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those comments I want to support this Amendment Bill. Thank you very much."
