Efforts to encourage Central Kenya residents to consume more fish reared locally appear to have hit a snag with Nyeri and Meru counties now seeking to lease out two of the largest fish processing plants in the region.
Wamagana processing plant in Nyeri and Kanyekine fish factory in Meru were both inherited from the national government under the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP) during President Mwai Kibaki’s tenure.
One of the main challenges is fish reared in ponds face stiff competition from those from large water bodies such as lakes, rivers and seas. According to Beth Wangui, a fish trader in Nyeri town, most of her stocks are sourced from Kisumu because of the size and preference of her customers.
