Kisumu Governor Prof.
Anyang' Nyong'o has announced the successful completion of five artisanal fibre fishing boats and one patrol boat to improve safety, efficiency, and dignity among fisherfolk across the region.
The boats constructed by the Kenya Shipyards Limited (KSL) will benefit fishermen across the major landing sites in the county.
Speaking during a courtesy call by Edward Omol of Kenya Shipyards Limited (KSL) and Lakefront Development Corporation Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Paul Njenja at his Town Hall office, Nyong'o lauded the development as a crucial step toward ending the needless loss of life caused by unsafe softwood boats. "Far too many lives are lost annually due to the use of unsafe softwood boats.
