    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to add my voice to support for this Bill. It is a very important Bill. I have just perused through it. Looking at the Memorandum of Objects and Reasons, I see that this Bill seeks to align the governance of the fisheries sector to the Constitution of Kenya. It is very important because for a long time people who survive on fishing as a way of getting income have been exploited so much. You find that people who live near lakes, for example in Kisumu in Nyanza regiom mostly thrive on fishing. However, we do not have any investments in that area. We do not have, for instance, cold rooms in that area. Fish is taken away immediately it is harvested. What you get there is what they call mgongo wazi. These are the remains of fish that the fishermen and the people who live there have to survive on. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
