Relief as stalled ferries resume services at Likoni

Two ferries, which had been withdrawn from the Likoni Channel on Monday leading to commuter chaos and a stampede, resumed operations under the watchful eye of Mombasa County Commissioner Nelson Marwa. The stampede that saw eight commuters injured, including school children, occurred when only two ferries were operating instead of four.

Mr Marwa watched as Kenya Ferry Service (KFS) staff tried to manage huge crowds in the morning and evening following the shortage of vessels.
