Tanzania's livestock and fisheries minister Luhaga Mpina has apologised to MPs after ministry officials entered a canteen within parliament grounds and impounded two kilogrammes of tilapia fish which they said was immature.

A ministry official had on Monday used a ruler to measure the length of processed tilapia on a plate before impounding the two kilos of fish that was on sale at the eatery where MPs dine.
