Kenyans can be very confusing:

Kenya will not ban fish imports from China, because there is a severe shortage facing the country, the government has said.

..."A kilogram of tilapia from China is sold for Sh250 while the same fish from Lake Victoria goes for Sh500. Our fish is very expensive because we lack the facilities to increase production," he said.
