Locals in Lamu are urging the government to lift the ban on game meat, particularly turtle meat, which they claim is of great medicinal value.

The residents claim that besides supu ya pweza (octopus soup), turtle meat is another commonly used local aphrodisiac and that they have been using it to hold marriages together.
