    "content": "I want to appreciate the importance of this Statement and congratulate my brothers, Sen. Faki and Sen. Madzayo. They want resources devolved to where an activity is. The issue being debated here is about construction of a building. I do not think that the construction of a building is what we should be fighting over. In fact, Nairobi City County should just have a coordinating office and the Ministry. However, we want to see both operational and substantive matters in the counties that are responsible for fishing. We want to see something important going on in Mombasa, Kilifi, Kwale, Tana River, Migori, Homa Bay, Kisumu, Busia and Turkana counties. This is because it is in those counties that fishing activities are major economic and cultural activities. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, hopefully, this matter will come before the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, where Sen. Madzayo and I sit. We are going to do our best to ensure that we do not bring buildings here and forget about our fishing people and their activities. Fishing in those counties is adored as a meal and an activity that generates resources. It is respected by our people. Thank you, Sen. Faki, for raising this important social and economic matter."
