What you need to know:

  • City residents are forced to go deeper into their pockets to buy their popular sardines as supply dwindles, precipitated by fishermen’s reluctance to go fishing in fear pending government fines.
  • A 20-litre budget of sardines at Ferry Fish Market now fetches Sh60, 000, from Sh35, 000 five days ago, a fishing officer at the Ferry Fish Market Mr Ahmed Mbaluku told The Citizen.
