Barely two months after a pompous launch by President Uhuru Kenyatta, the Mtongwe ferry channel has run into a major hitch after part of the landing structure broke off and fell into the sea.
Operations were disrupted when the pontoon was swept away by heavy waves on Tuesday night after two pillars that held it up were dislodged by strong tides. Luckily, nobody was injured as the ferry serving the channel - MV Likoni - was not in operation at the time. The ferry operates between 5am and 10pm, and 4pm and 10pm.
