    "content": "Turkana, Pokot and the Karamojong because we have been branded as cattle rustlers. You have seen how Kenyans suffer in Lake Victoria because of this issue of fish. The Government is there but it is not doing anything. It is my appeal that we take a strong stand on this matter in this House so that Kenyans can get their livelihoods. This is one area that can empower Kenyans on an economical side. Things are not like they were before. You have seen what has happened in Europe. We should not neglect those areas. Those people also need care from the Government. In Turkwel, there is plenty of water and fish but nothing is going on there. There are very good Kenyans who came from other areas. They came there and started regrouping young men and started training them how to fish, buy because there was no other support, it ended there. There is no care. Like a Member said, if we were taking consideration like we do to coffee, maize in the Rift Valley and these other places, this is an area which is so fertile. People can get their livelihoods and sustain their lives. Some Kenyans who suffer from diabetes are encouraged to take white meat. Chicken is part of that, but indigenous chicken is no longer there. We have gone to broilers. Fish is the natural one where you cannot get problems, apart from when we introduce fish from China and other places. We are worried of that. We have our own which God has given us. This can help us in the side of health. I support. Let the Government take serious steps and support this industry so that our people live long. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
