At least 109 Tanzanian fishermen were on Saturday arrested by the Kenya Navy for engaging in illegal fishing within Kenya's territorial waters in Shimoni.
Speaking to the Business Daily by phone on Wednesday, Lunga Lunga Deputy County Commissioner Josphat Biwott said the fishermen were apprehended after they were found violating territorial limits of the country.
"The fishermen were arrested for their alleged indulgence in illegal fishing inside the Kenya's territorial waters," he said.
Mr Biwott said the 109 fishermen were remanded for failing to raise a cash bail of Sh20,000 each after appearing before a Kwale Court on Monday.
