Two KRA officers missing after car swept away by floods in Kwale

Two Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) officers have now been reported missing after a car they were travelling in was swept away by floods at Ramisi area in Kwale County on Friday.

The State authority, in a statement to newsrooms on Saturday, said the duo was travelling to Mombasa from Lunga-Lunga where they are stationed when the accident happened.

“The Authority has already engaged family members of the two officers and an intensive search and rescue operation by a government multi-agency team is underway,” read the statement.

“KRA 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.”

A source at KRA has since told Citizen Digital that the vehicle has been recovered, but a search for the bodies is still ongoing.
