Families of the remaining two Kenyans who were trapped under the rubble of a sunken sewerage system after a structure where they were watching football caved in will have to wait longer to know the fate of their loved ones, the county government of Mombasa has confirmed. Mombasa County Chief Officer for Disaster, Ibrahim Basafar, confirmed the news during an update on the progress of the recovery, revealing that they have been forced to request additional equipment to aid the recovery. ''When we started the recovery process, there were huge chunks of debris and stones that fell into the scene.
That is why we have decided that we will need machinery specialised for that to help with the rescue operations,'' he said.
The CCO stated that allowing operations to continue without additional specialised equipment, such as a breathing apparatus, would have been disastrous for the county government.
