Rescue operations for Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) officers who went missing after a car they were travelling in was swept away by floods at Ramisi Bridge in Lunga-Lunga, Kwale County, are underway.

This has been confirmed by Internal Security Principal Secretary (PS) Raymond Omollo who said that the occupants in the Land Cruiser vehicle were Lungalunga Border Management Committee Chairperson Joram Maina and David Ng’ang’a.

So far the vehicle has been recovered from the swollen waters and towed to Msambweni Police station as a multi-agency team led by the Kenya Coast Guard Service is on scene in efforts to retrieve the missing duo.

The two were reportedly travelling to Mombasa from Lungalunga on Friday morning when the accident happened.

In a statement on Saturday, KRA asserted that it will continuously update the family members, its staff and the public on the progress and outcome of the rescue mission.

"The safety and well-being of KRA employees remains the Authority's first priority and all machinery is being deployed for a positive outcome.”
