A hotelier has taken the Homa Bay County Government to court over the construction of a fish factory and market, which has allegedly encroached on his parcel of land, blocking the hotel’s view and access to Lake Victoria.

Homa Bay Tourist Hotel says, in a case filed at the Environment and Land Court, that the construction of the fish facility in Kanyada is a manifestation of poor planning, as it has the potential to increase the lakefront zone’s vulnerability and destroy the habitat.
