    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support the position expressed by the Senators on this issue. Earlier on people used to perceive fishing as a matter reserved or secluded only to the counties around Lake Victoria and the Indian Ocean at the coast. Right now, families all over the nation benefit from fish farming. If you go to any part of the country you will find that many young people have taken up fish farming, which they do in fish pods. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important that this matter be looked into. The Senator for Mombasa has expressed it very well that this is now a function devolved to the counties. As the Vice Chairperson reports back, he should address what the counties have done in regard to the attack of the lakes by the water hyacinth. Even as we battle the failures by Kenya Fisheries Service, and this being a devolved function, we should hear what the county governments have done to fight the hyacinth mayhem, which has caused the diminishing of fish. If we are quiet on that, we will not be addressing the problem."
