Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has reaffirmed the government's commitment to revitalizing Lake Victoria's blue economy through ambitious infrastructure projects, including the ongoing construction of the Sh1.3 billion Kabonyo-Kanyagwal Aquaculture Center in Kisumu County.
Speaking during an inspection tour of the Kabonyo Kanyagwal project in Kisumu on Tuesday, Kindiki described the project as a cornerstone of Kenya's blue economy transformation agenda, calling it a "game changer" that will boost fish production, support sustainable fishing practices, and create thousands of jobs across the lakeside region.
The Deputy President noted that the facility, which is currently 15% complete, will produce 28 million fingerlings annually.
Additionally, it will serve as a specialized training hub for farmers and other stakeholders in the sector, thus driving the broader blue economy agenda.
