    "content": "This is a sector that has changed over a period of time and has all manner of good and bad things. If you look at the economy of this country, sometime in the 1990s, fish was the second biggest export in this country; it was the second biggest income earner after tourism. Over a period of time, the sector has been going down. While this is happening, there have been certain communities that for some time were dependent on fishing for their livelihoods, particularly the communities around Lake Victoria. The main commodities that were sustaining the communities in Lake Victoria region, when you put aside fish, were sugarcane, cotton; all these activities have been deteriorating. So, you can imagine what has been happening to these communities. We are getting to very desperate levels."
