And in what is seen as a Tparadigm shift from over reliance on fresh water fish, the government is now implementing an elaborate programme under the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP), which aims at increasing aquaculture productivity and raising the income of farmers and other stakeholders. The ESP sponsored fish farming en- terprise programme however comes in the backdrop of grim statistics which show significant reduction in fish and fish species diversity in Lake Victo- ria, which provides 90 percent of the annual national production. This has largely been attributed to the degrada- tion of the fish habitat, and the spread of aquatic weeds, such as the water hya- cinth, which have been cited as the ma- Dr Otuoma jor causes of the decline in per capita supply of fish. In addition, over-fishing caused by an influx of fishermen to the country’s lakes because of unemployment has been blamed for the bad state of affairs. A recent report on Lake Victoria released by the Kenyan Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries Development indicates that the Kenyan part of the lake, which is only 6 percent of the lake’s area, has 199,242 fishermen, which is more than double the recommended fig- ure. Construction of fish ponds under the ESP programme gains momentum. Already 13,444 fish ponds have been constructed in a bid to stimulate rural economies.

  • Jaramogi Oginga Odinga: the Man Kenya Can Never Forget,Once Upon a Dome,Handshake Manenos!,Handcheque Part II,Tinga!,Three Wise
    Jaramogi Oginga Odinga: The Man Kenya Can Never Forget By Dauti Kahura and Bethuel Oduo If Thomas Joseph (TJ) Mboya was the young man that Kenya wanted to forget, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga is the grand old man who Kenya can never forget. Jaramogi and Tom Mboya were both were nationalists of great distinction from the Luo community who as seasoned politicians posed a threat to the founding president Jomo Kenyatta’s autocratic national designs. Tom Mboya died young, by an assassin’s bullet, on July 5, 1969. Jaramogi died an old man, a mzee, at the age of 82 years on January 20, 1994, after having been tormented by both Kenyatta and Daniel arap Moi regimes effectively from 1969 after his fall out with Kenyatta and through the 80s and 90s during iron-fisted Moi’s reign. Jaramogi Oginga Odinga death anniversary on January 20th, twenty-five years since his passing, was marked quietly in a manner that diminishes his immense contribution to the Kenyan national project. If Thomas Joseph (TJ) Mboya was the young man that Kenya wanted to forget, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga is the grand old man who Kenya can never forget No history book on Kenya would be complete without his mention. Jaramogi was the vice president of the nationalist party Kanu when Kenya African Union (Kau) merged with Kenya Independent Movement to form Kanu on May 14, 1960. He was later to become the country’s first Vice President, after Kanu won the 1963 general elections under Kenyatta. When his friend Pio Gama Pinto was killed in 1965, Jaramogi knew he was a targeted man because of his ideological position.
