Fishermen in Lake Baringo area have protested against the county’s decision to limit the size of nets that can be used.
They said that the move to limit the size of the nets used to four inches has greatly decreased their catch.
“We have been deprived of our source of livelihood and we don’t have alternatives,” Collins Longonop, a fisherman said.
County Agriculture and Fisheries chief officer, Risper Chepkonga, urged fishermen to keep calm, saying that the issue will be addressed.
“Fishermen rely on selling their catch to feed their families and pay their children's fees. We need this issue sorted urgently,” Joyce Lekopare, a fisherman said.
