"content": "for a long time. This sector has the potential of employing thousands of youth but it has not been recognised. The fact that the President has, for the first time, created the Department of Maritime shows that he has come round to this knowledge. Currently, there is a shortage of law. By the time Ms. Nancy Karigithu left Kenya Maritime Authority (KMA), reforms were in process but they stalled after her departure. I hope that she will take up this matter from where she left it, so that we not only protect our coastal commerce but we also employ our youth. However, we have a challenge in that we have not standardised maritime qualifications and services in this country. We have also not protected the maritime sector such that foreigners come from abroad, take it over and muscle out local investors. I wish them well. They certainly can expect support from Parliament."
