"JUBILEEtion" in Nyanza! Omena to be Exported to Europe as Miraa barn still upholds!Who is laughing now!?

The county government of homa bay is holding negotiations with a European country that if successful will see the export of omena to europe. According to Homa bay governor Cyprian Awiti, a delegation from the Isle of man, a wealth country neighbouring England and Ireland had started talks that could see the fortunes of lake victoria fishermen double. Awiti says homa bay currently harvests an estimated 35,000 metric tons of omena annually, most of which is consumed locally and the rest transported to other surrounding towns. Speaking at the meeting held in homa bay, Isle of man environment, food and agriculture minister Phill Gawne said his country was keen on importing the delicacies in large quantities. Currently trading in omena is regulated by the national government. This includes an annual three months ban of fishing and sale of the commodity to allow for breeding especially during the long rains season.
