Kampala Mayor John Ssebaana Kizito has advised the Government to ensure that the income from fish export is used to develop the fishing industry in the country. He advised fishermen to use acceptable fishing methods so as not to deplete the resource. He was launching a patrol boat for Kampala, Wakiso and Mukono Districts at Gaba landing site recently.
