Tens of fisherfolk and ecotourism operators have been rendered jobless after Oloidien Landing Beach in Naivasha was closed down in unclear circumstances.

A private investor has fenced the popular public beach near Kongoni trading center, locking out over 200 people who have relied on the landing beach for several years.
