Kenya Ferry Services Company Admits That The Ferry In which Daughter Amanda and her Mother Died After Their Vehicle Plunged Into The Indian Ocean Was Faulty.
Kenya Ferry Services senior officials during judicial inquiry at Mombasa law court before Mombasa chief magistrate Martha Mutuku admitted that the ferry in which a woman and her daughter died after their vehicle plunged into the Indian Ocean was faulty.
An inquest into the 2019 death of Mariam Kighenda and her four-year-old daughter Amanda Mutheu heard that safety measures on the 30-year-old MV Harambee ferry were not in place.
Ms Kighenda’s vehicle, a Toyota Isis registration number KCB 289C, plunged into the ocean midstream around 6:13pm on September 29, 2019.
