A boat leaves Homa Bay Pier on December 22, 2021. [James Omoro, Standard]Safety measures in water transport in Lake Victoria have changed barely three months after ten people died in a maritime accident.

Langa said the September tragedy made them aware of how important it is to put on life-saving jackets when travelling in water. Joas Ochieng’, a coxswain of a boat that operates from Homa Bay Pier to Kisaka Beach, said the accident taught them many lessons.
