State bans night fishing on Lake Naivasha

The Department of Fisheries has banned night fishing on Lake Naivasha after three fishermen drowned. This was announced as details emerged that the three men who drowned on Wednesday night while on a fishing expedition were in the lake illegally.

Naivasha sub-county fisheries officer Mathew Ngila said the lake stakeholders' committee banned night fishing to avoid such incidents in future. He warned that it was illegal to venture into the lake after 6p.m. and made it clear that those who violated this regulation would be prosecuted.
