Lamu boat owners have given the Kenya Maritime Authority two weeks to relax new regulations or they say they will withdraw their vessels from the seas.

Boat owners stormed out of a workshop organised by KMA yesterday. They termed unrealistic new penalties for operators who break regulations.

Lamu Boat Owners Association chairman Awadh Hassan operators will soon hold street protests.
