A signal from the plane which went missing after take-off from Kitale on Tuesday has been traced to Aberdare forest near Kinangop. The signal was from a mobile phone believed to be that of one of the ten passengers who were aboard the aircraft. East African Safari Air Express, the plane's operator, said in a statement that the 12-seater aircraft departed from Kitale for Nairobi at 4:05pm. A search and rescue team has been mobilised by the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority, Aircraft Accident Investigation Department, and KWS. He appealed to the public to volunteer information which may lead to quick rescue and recovery of the plane and its occupants.
