The Kenya Ferry Services has offered to sponsor the burial of Likoni Ferry Tragedy Victims.
Citizen Digital reports that KFS has given Sh200, 000 to the family of Mariam Kighenda and her four-year-old daughter Amanda after they died following the tragic incident at the ferry.
KFS corporate services officer Elizabeth Wachira has confirmed that it donated Sh100,000 to the husband of the deceased John Wambua and Sh100,000 to the deceased father, Peter Mwaghogho.
This is after their bodies and car were retrieved from the floor of the Likoni seabed following combined efforts of the South African Divers and officers from the Kenya Navy.
The family of the deceased have not been given the bodies for burial because of the delayed postmortem results. Wambua said that the burial of the deceased has taken long after the government pathologist failed to show up for the same. He has called for speedy performance to allow him to bury the deceased.
“The burial is being delayed because of the autopsy. I have been at the police station the whole day and up to now we have not seen the government pathologist,” he said.
The deceased are set to be laid to rest in Mung’ala village, Makueni County.
