KNBS says our consumption per capita is 7kgs annually. The fisheries PS jerks up the figure to 20kgs to justify allowing the imports.

But if ODM leaders cannot take up such a straight forward matter that affects their people so directly, may be Jubilee should rule up to 2032.

does it mean someone can not import something if the same is found locally, I would have an issue if the importers are evading tax or something, but if they are doing it in the right way then its down to competition, wacha customer achague what they want.
what I find odd is that the imports might be cheaper than even the equal quality local equivalent

You are still skirting around my question. What are the five gavanas of Migori, HomaBay, Siaya, Busia and Kisumu doing about this issue of dwindling production against cheaper competition?

Contrary to what many here assume, the people of Nyanza do not rely on fishing. I don't think the fishing industry even makes up 20% of the regions economy. Secondly the areas directly touching on the lake shores are the poorest in Nyanza.

Good point @Obi.

Nothing I can place a finger on but I think;
- fish catch is extremely unreliable (like hunting)
- it requires alot of effort, you literally spend the night in the lake,it seriously affects education of the communities around the lake as children are often involved
- poor facilities, like old sail boats etc.
- over-fishing, remember the wahindi companies that moved to Tanzania initially set base in Kenya, they over-fished the area then moved out

I'm not sure if you are being serious or sarcastic
