The Kenyan officers have already tested the wrath of angry fishermen. On Monday angry fishermen in Marenga Beach locked up an officer in their office briefly who they claim he wanted to be bribed before impounded boats could be released. The officer was forced to call for reinforcement from Port Victoria Police Station to save him from jaws of irate fishermen. The move to confiscate the vessel with food stuff from Uganda prompted exchange of word between the officer and fishermen. Following the incident, fishermen in Marenga beach want police post located in Mulukoba beach removed for collecting bribes and failing to defend local fishermen whenever Ugandan officers harass them.
