    "content": "community and investors, so that we can be assured that this is not another form of partitioning of the lake. We want to know the size of the concession. Is it 315 or 1,000 acres? We want to know the duration of the concession, how much the investor has paid and how much the county has collected in taxes. We want to understand the benefits to the local community and ensure that there is a proper environmental impact assessment. As I speak, there have been increased cases of attacks by wild animals, crocodiles and hippos because they have been driven from their traditional breeding grounds. I, therefore, implore this Senate to stand up for the rights of the fisher folk in this country. I urge Members to demand the full implementation of the Fisheries Management Act and that the Executive tables in this House the relevant regulations that will fire up this sector. Finally, I urge the House to resolve that no further concessions should be granted for large scale commercial aquaculture in the lake until regulations are approved by this House. I am aware that the fisher folk of Suba are planning to bring a petition to the house, even though l have advised them that it would be better to pass the petition to the County Assembly before it comes to the senate. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
