    "content": "supposed to pass laws that protect our people. The Bill outlines the role of the authority. It talks about how the system will work and who is responsible for issuing licenses. There is also a board that will manage and demarcate our waters so that we get good protection. I believe men and women who will sit in this board will do a good job so that the fishermen of this country will afford a smile and reap benefits from their fishing activities. I would also like to know how this Bill will tackle the issue of import and export because that is where the real debate is. At the end of the day, it is not difficult to fish and bring the catch offshore. However, how can we safeguard Kenyans in this industry and make sure they benefit from fishing? Many of them are poor and impoverished. I have no doubt whatsoever that if this Bill is enacted, then our fishermen reap will maximum profits and live happily. We need to protect them from brokers who exploit them like they do in other industries, for example, the tea subsector and other sectors. It is my hope that over time, we will have a good Bill like this one that will safeguard the interests of tea farmers so that Kericho County residents can also be proud. Thank you for this opportunity. I beg to support this Bill."
