Families of the victims of the tragic chopper crash in Lake Nakuru more than two months ago will have to wait longer for compensation.
According to Mathias Ombasa, the leading investigator into the accident, the compensation process could take longer because the probe into the crash is still ongoing.
"Investigations are still on but when we are done, we will share our findings with family members and the public," he said.
Speaking to The Standard on Friday, Ombasa revealed investigators had made some progress in probing the cause of the accident.
"We have recovered crucial components of the aircraft which we are examining to determine what triggered the crash," he noted.
The helicopter crashed on October 21 with five people on board heading for a Jubilee rally in Narok.
Among the bodies which have been retrieved and buried belong to chopper's pilot Apollo Malowa, Veronicah Muthoni and Anthony Kipyegon.
The bodies of John Mapozi and Sam Gitau are yet to be found.
