The petitioners regarding the forced disappearance of young fishermen in Lake Nakuru have rejected a report by the Kenya Fisheries Services regarding the suitability for human consumption of the fish at the lake.

Tom Mboya and Dr Peter Mbae, who have brought a petition to the Senate National Security and Defence Committee, accused the Kenya Fisheries Services of not being involved in the sampling exercise as the committee had recommended earlier.

Mboya accused the KFS management of not involving them on the date they had agreed on, and that they were earlier informed that they were to meet, only to be informed four hours later, when the exercise had already been done, and there was no reason for them to go to the lake.
