Homa Bay Woman Representative Dr Joyce Osogo has urged the Ministry of Blue Economy to initiate a programme aimed at empowering women to engage in aquaculture in Lake Victoria, as part of efforts to address the decline in fish production.

Her remarks come amid growing concerns among fishermen about the dwindling fish population in the lake, which has resulted in reduced catches and subsequent nutritional challenges due to limited fish supply.
