"content": "What is in this Report that makes us very much concerned and happy about the nominee is that he is a practising fish farmer. His company alone contributes 500 metric tonnes of fish into the market per annum. Looking at a marketer of fish who is also a professional and a national leader of such a substance, we have no other choice, but to make such a person the first Chairman for such a wonderful board, where we want to move from eating red meat to eating white meat. When you look at most of the issues that are affecting us today, consumption of red meat is one of them. In our interrogation, we asked him where he wants to see the marketing authority in coming years. He cited a scenario where he said he would want to see fish production improved from 10,000 metric tonnes currently, to about 100,000 metric tonnes in the next three years. That will see the country moving in the right direction in terms of both fish production and consumption. We should take statistics that today on average a Kenyan consumes 4 kilogrammes of fish per month. We would want to shift that consumption to about 20 kilogrammes per month. That will be sufficient enough to settle most of the issues and challenges of health that we are having."
