THE Kenyan government has ordered an immediate halt to the sale of fish and fish products from Lake Victoria due to poisoning, Medical Services director Julius Meme announced on Tuesday. Meme also warned the Kenyan public that fish sold from neighbouring countries sharing the lake is also not safe for consumption, until further notice. The statement blames fishermen using unorthodox fishing methods in Lake Victoria — resorting to poisonous chemical substances as a method of quickly obtaining fish.
