    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute in support of this Bill. It is a comprehensive Bill which has considered a lot of issues. It is no secret that the fishing industry in Kenya is in a wanting situation. Having been born and brought up in the lakeside, I remember the days when we use to go to the villages within Kisumu City and there was plenty of fish everywhere. Within the borders of Kenya and Uganda, there was a free market trade. However, lately, fish has become like some black gold; very rare. Most of the fish that we eat now is not tasty. People have gone into fish farming. As a result, there is low supply of from the natural waters. The problem is that it is quite clear there has been some mismanagement. We, as a country, have not really addressed issues in the fishing industry. For example, ever since Lake Victoria started suffering from hyacinth, people cannot access a lot of fish. We wonder where the fish has disappeared to. I believe most of it has gone to Migingo Island, which is no longer available to us. Our Kenyans relatives are being harassed there."
