The governor noted there was no reason at all to warrant importation of fish. "We hope not only to achieve a national government ban on importation of fish into the country but also initiate governance reforms in regulatory bodies," he said. He added that instead of fulfilling the mandate, the national government was recklessly allowing importation of suspect fish. The governor added that Kenya was still making a great fortune from the fish industry despite a reduction in fish, with the country earning Sh5 billion per year from exports.
