The vehicle in the Likoni ferry tragedy is being retrieved and government has issued directive on what will happen to the bodies after retrieval.
"The vehicle will be retrieved then we will have a short memorial service attended by the military and family members. The bodies will then be taken from the vehicle.
(Gari itanyanyuliwa juu, kisha baadae kutakuwa na ibada fupi ya jeshi na familia…kisha miili itachukuliwa)," Oguna said as reported by NTV.
When the Toyota ISIS with registration number KCB 289C drowned, Mariam Kighenda and her daughter Amanda Mutheu were aboard. The car was discovered on Wednesday after divers intensified their search.
There were several entities involved in the search but the Kenya Defense Forces has claimed credit for the discovery.
This has irritated South African divers who allege they played a key role in the success of the mission.
"We have been having a government multi-agency which involves Kenya Navy, Kenya Ferry Services among others. The entire team is led by Kenya Navy under Col Lawrence Gituma. Those who were leading and had divers were Kenya Navy.
"Some helped us with cameras but it's Kenya Navy that spotted the vehicle. We are not saying that others didn't contribute but without divers, we wouldn't have made the progress," government spokesman Col (Rtd) Cyrus Oguna said on Wednesday.
