Saturday October
5, 2019-The hopes of ever seeing the bodies of Mariam and her daughter who
drowned at Likoni ferry have faded after world-renowned Swedish diver, Volker
Bassen, who had shamed the government with a record-breaking promise
on the recovery operation at Likoni Ferry, was forced to retract his words
after visiting the scene.
Speaking yesterday,
Bassen reiterated Kenya Navy's sentiments on how tough it was to recover the
bodies and vehicle which had plunged into the Indian Ocean.
The previous day, the
diver had stated that he would locate the car within 15 minutes and retrieve it
in two hours.
"I would like to
retract my comments in the previous interview that I had, where I said that it
would take about two hours to retrieve the car wreckage.
"I realized that I
had underestimated the conditions, especially which the Kenyan Navy has to
deal with. The situation is that the visibility is unclear, the waters are
deep. The currents are terrible and that makes it quite difficult for us to
locate the car," Bassen stated on live TV.
Bassen, who is also the
CEO of East Africa Whale-Shark
Trust, had further reported that it was not the first time working with
the Kenyan Navy on a rescue mission.
He claimed to
have participated in a recovery operation of a body in Lake Michaelson on
Mount Kenya in 2012, after a plane crash.
