    "content": "Thanks a lot. I want to declare to the House that I am a fisherman, if that has not been known. I am a fisherman and it is really core to me. With regard to the whole issue of funding in the fisheries, one needs to look at this sector in relation to the geography and the communities that we are talking about and also in relation to the agenda of the Government. What is it that can promote the economy of these places where we come from, particularly around Lake Victoria? For the last two weeks we have had issues with the “Waganda” throughout in terms of resource use of Lake Victoria. So, in terms of fisheries development, we need to go the direction of what it is that we can do acknowledging that we have a very small portion of Lake Victoria as part of this country. We should find a way of reducing the conflict we constantly have with the Ugandans. We have only six per cent of the lake. What is it, in terms of fisheries development, that we can do, or what is it that we need to come up with that can help us utilise the small portion of Lake Victoria that we have for the purposes and benefit of our communities? We need some good amount of creativity in terms of methods that we are to employ for this to happen. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
