Rescuers search for victims of a boat accident on Lake Baringo on April 21, 2024.
Following Sunday evening’s boat incident that saw a boat
ferrying youth for a church service from the mainland to the island capsize in Lake
Baringo, it has been a beehive of activities as the search for the six missing
bodies intensified on Monday.
According to the area MP Charles Kamuren, security teams
have called for more help from the national government to fast-track the search
for missing bodies.
“I urge both the national and county governments, as well as
all Kenyans of goodwill, to offer us the required support at this time,
particularly live jackets and professional divers to aid in rescue and recovery,"
said Kamuren.
The multi-agency rescue team comprises the Marine Police,
the Coast Guard Service, the Kenya Red Cross, the Fisheries Department, and
local community divers.
The boat was carrying youth from Salabani en route to Kokwa
Island for a church service.
