    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank the honourable Member for Lamu for bringing up this issue of fish within our country. Sometimes, it becomes very difficult to understand this country where we have resources and yet we do not utilise them to benefit Kenyans. Instead our resources benefit other people. It is painful especially for the people who live in the Coast and the Nyanza areas because they have the potential to use their resources to earn a living and also produce and empower themselves economically. It is high time the Ministry of Agriculture and the Department of Fisheries came out with very clear directions on how they need to empower the local fish farmers. It perturbs me and if we continue allowing everything to come from China, I am foreseeing a situation whereby even the laws will be coming from China. It is sad. I want to put it clearly that, as a House, we are going to stand with this matter. It is important for Members to understand that at Zero Hour, we need to come out as Members of Parliament and defend the country irrespective of the regions we come from.
