• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to donate two minutes to Hon. Lomenen, so that I can, at least, have five minutes to reply. I would like to donate another minute to Hon. Munuve. view
• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I want to thank all the Members who have contributed to this Motion. It has been a very constructive session in this House. I am very grateful for your support. I would like to assure the Members that this is a very serious Motion to me. Right now, I would like to inform you that there is a team which has been dispatched from the national Government to go round all the five counties around Lake Victoria which concern themselves with fish farming. So, I am taking it very seriously and ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: not followed. This time around, I am going to make sure that I follow this thing from the national Government to the county government, to the farmers themselves so that we maximise on the benefit of this great resource that is coming from the lake region, the coastal region and any other part of Kenya that produces fish. Thank you. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to move this Motion. I would like to passionately move it. We realise that Kenya is endowed with a lot of resources. The resources in Kenya cut across from the Coastal region where we have mineral resources---- view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Fine. I am sorry, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that Kenya’s high seas and inland fresh water bodies are a key resource for diversification of the country’s economy through fishing; noting that most fishermen and women use traditional methods of fish harvesting, preservation and processing; conscious that there are few training institutions that offer studies in fisheries, oceanography and maritime technology in Kenya; further noting that huge losses are incurred due to lack of proper post-harvest management and inadequate fish processing plants in the country; concerned that this lacuna has contributed to relegation ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: processing facilities have resulted in meagre earnings for many Kenyans, including women who depend on fishing; this House urges the Government to establish both inland and coastal training institutions and processing plants with a view of building capacity for fishing communities to maximize their returns from the lucrative fishing sector. Hon. Deputy Speaker, let me take this opportunity to move this Motion. I would like to take ourselves a bit down the memory lane of the resources we have in this country. We realise that each and every region is endowed with different types of natural resources. If these natural ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: We are losing the lake. We are losing Lake Turkana and so many other water bodies. In River Tana alone there is a lot of mudfish, which should be nurtured. The people living there do not even know the value of the mudfish they have. We have a lot of markets in the Congo for the catfish. We do not even need to go outside Africa. However, all this is neglected. So, I want to urge this House to support this Bill because we need the resources. view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Sorry, it is a Motion. I am very sorry, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Any student of economics knows the impact of excessive imports on a country’s currency. If we just import and we do not export in return, we kill our own economy. If we do not build our own industries like sugar, coffee and tea, we are going to lose. Already we are losing because if you look at our balance of trade, there is a shortfall because we tend to value imported things compared to ours that we can nurture and export. A house is always built from bottom-up. ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Another example is since Kenya began the aquaculture business in the 1950s up to 2006, total annual culture production has never exceeded 2,000 metric tonnes per year, prior to the Government’s economic stimulus programme, as I have already mentioned. Another example is that it is not only the Nyanza region that can harness the fishing. It is now extended to the Rift Valley, the Central region and the whole of Coast region. There should be concerted effort by each and every person and each and every county and the national Government to make sure that we nurture fishing and train ... view
• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Another example that I want to give is that we had about 7,477 production units in an estimated area of 7,200 hectares by 2007. That is after introduction of the economic stimulus programme. The mean yield from fish farming was approximately 5.8 metric tonnes per year. That is from aquaculture compared to 4,454 metric tonnes of the total annual fish production. That is a very low production. Currently, the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) training institution offers diploma in fisheries and aquatic sciences. The University of Eldoret offers Bachelor of Science in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences. The University of Nairobi offers ... view
