Security agents have detained a luxury yacht floating off Kilifi after it was found to lack authorisation from the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) to dock in the country.

Kilifi County Commissioner Josephat Biwott said the four-deck yacht, christened Salt was detained along with its six foreign tourists, who have yet to disembark.
