    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I want to thank all the Members who have contributed to this Motion. It has been a very constructive session in this House. I am very grateful for your support. I would like to assure the Members that this is a very serious Motion to me.

I do not think it is fun for us to realise that we get fish from outside this nation while it should be the reverse. We should be the ones producing enough fish for us to consume and export to other economies. Secondly, I would like to let you know that Kenya is an agricultural state. We cannot neglect our own resources at the expense of other people. We want to support other economies instead of ourselves. So, I am going to take it upon myself to make sure it comes to a very good conclusion. Lastly, I would like to push the Government very hard to make sure that we take care of all our resources not only from the fishing communities but all over this nation. We should make sure that all the resources that we have in each region of this nation is properly nurtured. During the economic stimulus, there were so many ponds which were constructed. In Kisumu County alone, we have 1,274 ponds. Most of the breeds that were given to the farmers were the wrong type and the feed that was supplied to them was the wrong type. For us to succeed, we must do the right thing and do monitoring and evaluation. It was just dropping these things in the middle of nowhere. Nothing was done.
