The nation's biggest shame on poor disaster response and management unfolded in Nakuru following an helicopter crash at the world-famed Lake Nakuru National Park.

Since 6.30am when reports filtered out that a helicopter with five on board had crashed in the saline lake, the country watched in shock as leaders, Police officers, members of the provincial administration, Kenya Wildlife Service and journalists camped at the shores of the lake without any rescue efforts taking place for lack of divers and other equipment used in such rescue missions.
