Fish traders lock Busia Main Market in protest over licences to fish trading companies

According to the Daily Monitor, fish traders locked the entrances to Busia Main Market, stopped trading and sent away revenue collectors, demanding that Busia Municipal Council cancel licences allowing two fish trading companies to operate outside the market. Traders said the companies were drawing away their customers, most of them Kenyans; police deployed the anti-riot unit and the officer in charge of Busia Central Police Station later met the traders.
