He said that there is no logical rationale for allowing the trade which has already affected the local fish market.

He said the problems bedeviling the fisheries sector were compounded in weak laws and policies; disorganised institutional framework, multiplicity of regulations. In a statement to the media on Sunday, Ranguma said that allowing such imports would hurt the economies of counties relying on the commodity.
