Fisheries minister Albert Kawana has denied allegations that he has shown favouritism to fishing companies close to him, saying whenever a quota allocation is announced, the industry is provided with all the relevant details.
He was accused of allocating a quota to his son, an claim he strongly denied.
Remarking on a hake quota allocation that was awarded, Kawana said it was done to ensure the continued operations of fishing companies and factories.
“I send a list to the respective associations so that those companies can negotiate for quotas. I provide the associations with the details so that production is not disturbed,” he said.
