Boat lovers have been assured of security as they partake on their activities at the Naivasha Lake reserve.
Addressing the press at the reserve on Thursday, Boat Owners association chairperson David Kilo noted that the facility was open to all despite the misfortune reported on Wednesday night.
He noted that the fishermen who succumbed had not only not put on the required attire but also lacked the experience of how to deal with such a situation.
“It’s unfortunate that a fisherman who is brave enough to fish at night can drown,” he said. Adding that “As much as it happens, we insist on experience and brevity when giving our boats to night fishermen.”
Kilo urged area residents not to shy away from visiting the reserve during the August vacation, arguing that a one-day misfortune should not be used to judge them on their service delivery and disaster preparedness.
“Accidents can happen anywhere because in life they are inevitable. Don’t conclude that we are not committed to your safety because of one incident,” Kilo explained.
He lamented on the low turnout of customers saying that everything was in place and the facility was operating as usual.
“Today (Thursday), we recorded a significantly low number of customers and we attribute it to the fear of the unknown. People should not shy away, let them come we have fun together,” he noted.
“We are committed to quality and efficient service delivery keeping to our goal of ensuring safety to all our customers,” Kilo said.
Three fishermen lost their lives on Wednesday after their boat capsized while three others are admitted at the Kijabe Mission hospital.
