The county government has banned fish trading after a cholera outbreak. Health Executive Jane Ajele said the disease had already claimed one life.

“Unfortunately, one death has been reported in Kalokol where fishing takes place. That is why we have banned fish trading so contaminated fish does not get out of Turkana," said Ms Ajele.
