President Uhuru Kenyatta has sacked Kenya Ferry Services Limited chairperson Dan Mwazo.

In a Wednesday, October 16, Gazette Notice Number 9833, the Head of State said Mwazo has been dismissed with immediate effect.

Also fired, are other non-executive board members of the Kenya Ferry Services Limited. They include Naima Amir, Philip Ndolo, Rosina Mruttu and Daula Omar.

This comes after 35-year-old Mariam Kighenda and her 4-year-old daughter, Amanda Mutheu, died at the Likoni channel on September 29 after their vehicle slid off MV Harambee ferry and plunged 58 meters into the Indian Ocean.

Their bodies were retrieved from the sea 13 days later.
