A boat tragedy in Homa Bay, Lake Victoria, left nine people dead on September 21, 2021. The ill-fated boat was carrying 19 passengers. A team appointed by the government to establish the cause of the accident is yet to file a report.
The mishap is part of a chain of accidents that happen in the lake with alarming frequency. Most of the previously reported accidents were caused by overloading, poor maintenance of boats and paying little attention to weather forecasts.
