In an effort to meet the rising demand for fresh fish and strengthen food security, the County has restocked Kesses Dam in Tulwet Chuiyat Ward, Kesses Sub-County, with 20,000 fingerlings.
Representing H.E. Governor Bii, County Executive Committee Member for Agriculture, Mr. Edward Sawe, expressed optimism about the initiative’s potential to boost fish populations in the county’s waterways. He emphasized that addressing the demand for fresh fish remains a top priority for the County.


As part of the Nguzo Kumi agenda, Mr. Sawe highlighted the County’s commitment to fostering partnerships that support sustainable and economically viable practices in agriculture and fishing. “We are focused on ensuring that both industries thrive while being environmentally responsible,” he affirmed.

Chief Officer Mr. Nixon Cheplong, who accompanied CECM Sawe, added that the initiative is designed to promote sustainable agricultural practices across the county, with a particular focus on strengthening the fishing sector.


Ms. Jane Kiptoo, a fish farmer welcomed the initiative, stating, “This support from the county government is a game-changer for us. Access to healthy fingerlings means we can improve our yields and increase our income. We are excited about the future of fish farming in our area.”
