Easy Coach has overturned a ban on the carriage of fish and fish products in its public service vehicles after an online outrage.
According to a statement issued by the firm on Tuesday, travellers can now bring fish and fish items as long as they are "appropriately packed."
The prohibition was enforced in response to complaints from some clients about inadequately packaged fish/fish products contaminating their accompanied luggage.

part of the statement reads,The suspension has been lifted and you can now carry your fried , dried , smoked , salted; mbuta , ngege , kamongo, omena etc, ONLY as accompanied luggage on our buses on condition that it is appropriately packed.
in their earlier statement addressed to all branch managers, the Company indicated that this has created "heartache" among its customers, but it has not provided any other information as to why the ban has been imposed.
“We wish to inform you that with immediate effect fish and fish products thereof are all forbidden on all Easy Coach limited transport systems whether accompanied or by parcels,” the notice read.
