President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto joined families of the Solai dam tragedy for an interdenominational funeral service.

At least 47 people, including 23 children, died last week when the dam inside the expansive Patel Coffee Estate in Solai burst, sending waters loaded with tree stumps, logs and boulders roaring downhill.
