The arrival of the new MV Safari has failed to inspire hope among ferry users that it will solve the issues experienced at the crossing channel. Users maintain that the best solution to stop the problems commuters and motorists go through at the Likoni crossing channel is the construction of a bridge. “We will, however, not start operations with MV Safari until we inspect it and ensure it is in order and then fumigate it. MV Jambo and MV Safari were procured at Sh2 billion. The construction of MV Safari stalled after a rival firm went to court to stop its construction citing unseaworthiness of MV Jambo.
