Published on October 7, 2019, the recovery efforts of a woman and her daughter who drowned in the Indian Ocean after their vehicle slid off a ferry have entered their 8th day.
South African divers, hired by the family, have finally arrived to join the multi-agency team working round the clock to retrieve the bodies.
The exercise has been hampered by poor visibility, prompting the government to resort to using technology to aid in the search.
Government spokesperson Col. retired Cyrus Oguna has called on the family members and Kenyans at large to be patient as the search intensifies.
The multi-agency team has narrowed the search areas to four spots, down from 12, in the hunt for the ill-fated vehicle.
