The dam in Juja, which is infamous for deaths and accidents, has been placed out of bounds for the foreseeable future following the latest tragic incident.
Juja Deputy County Commissioner Daniel Ndege made the announcement, stating that the Mugutha Dam, popular for 'park and chill', would remain closed as area security agencies continue to conduct assessment tests before reopening it to the public.
The move comes just a day after two students from the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) lost their lives while swimming in the dam.
Kiambu County divers retrieved the bodies, which were taken to the General Kago Funeral Home in Thika.
