    "content": "Thank you for the opportunity to also say something about the Bill. From the outset I support it. I believe that is the way to go. By having this and using it properly we are going to have food security in the country. This will reduce poverty as we are all challenged by poverty in the country. This kind of a Bill goes along way in addressing that. More importantly, I am concerned with aquaculture fishing, in which we talk of fish ponds. The majority of Kenyans do not have the privilege of being neighbours to waters like Hon. Millie and Hon. Nassir. Some of us come from the dry lands, but we can use fish ponds to also get the same advantages that they have. That is why I would want to see this Bill enhanced; we should increase the amount of allocation that we are putting into it and enable those who come from the mainland to create fish ponds in their places, just as we did in the previous Government. This initiative worked very well. In my constituency of Nyaribari- Chache, we have fish farming as our main activity. We have also seen that in Kibera, which is actually in the middle of Nairobi, there is a lot of fish farming going on.
