An employee uses a knife to descale fish skin discarded at fish filleting factories at the lakeside city of Kisumu where industrial chemist, Newton Owino uses organic bio- compounds to tan the nile perch skins at his mini tannery to make leather goods in western Kenya. Owino derives the ingredients in the chemicals he uses for tanning and the processing of the skins of fresh water fish from the Lake Victoria known as Nile Perch, from which he then fashions a range of products including leather jackets, bags, shoes, wallets, caps, purses, sandals and belts.
