• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: I know Mr. Mbeo well. We went to school together. I can vouch for his ability even at the time he was a young man when we were in college together. We have been told he was born in Mfangano Island that is situated right in the middle of the lake. He has had experience from childhood. He has got the required qualifications. His first degree is in Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and History, and above all he has qualifications in management. He has done extremely well in his life. He has also been in politics. He was ... view
• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: We have a big demand for fish. Hon. Arbelle said that he does not know how to eat the head of a fish. That is what you should eat first, particularly if it is tilapia because it will give you phosphorous and the Omega 3 oils that you need for proper brain development. Those elements are particularly good for children. The local demand for fish in this country far outweighs the production to the extent that the Chinese are now bringing in a lot of fish. We have a godown in Kisumu where fish is kept. Even in Nairobi there ... view

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: farming, a lot of effort has been made but production and marketing has not been done in a proper way. Therefore, that industry is not growing. At the lake, a large number of people, as Hon. Mbadi said, are still depending on old fishing methods, where they actually use the wrong nets and are not getting a lot of fish. So, we have to move away from the hunting and gathering that we are still using in the fishing industry and move into modern fishing. That way, we will be in a position to compete with China. We can ensure ... view

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is need to bring in legislation, as Hon. Mbadi said. If I take the example of Lake Victoria, this cage farming is actually in competition with the local fishermen. Unless we get in and bring proper regulation, there will be conflict because once you do cage farming, basically the lake will be cut out into cage farming areas and the local fishermen will not have their own local production. The answer is to get the local fishermen move away from the current fishing practices that are not productive. This way they reduce the fish because ... view
