Lawmakers in Kenya are planning legislation to ban companies from importing fish from China, the country’s  Daily Nation reported Tuesday, after years of controversy involving exploitation of natural resources and reports of Beijing selling the African country poisoned fish. Silas Tiren, the head of the Kenyan National Assembly’s Committee on Agriculture which controls fisheries policy told the Nation that Kenya’s fish reserves are too rich for a need to import from abroad, forcing local fishermen to compete with much larger corporate entities. “I don’t see why we should import from China when we have enough fish in the country. There is a lot of potential in our waters, we must capture it,” Tiren reportedly said. The lawmaker accused China, and other unnamed foreign countries, of “fishing from our waters and later selling to us,” damaging the ability of local fishermen to sustain their families.
