Skydiving suspended in Diani after Zambian dies in parachute accidentThe Diani skydiving expeditions in Ukunda town Kwale County have been suspended following an accident in which a Zambian paratrooper was killed in an accident last month. Last month a diplomatic row erupted between Kenya and Zambia when 14 Zambians entered Kenya on a tourist visa but ended up engaging in skydiving over Diani. Now Kenyan officials claim that apart from the Zambians entering Kenya illegally, the British was operating a skydiving business without a valid licence. Coast Regional commissioner John Elungata said, "All skydiving expedition has been suspended over security challenges as we await further directions from the national government." When we pressed him he alleged to have a verbal agreement with legal authorities," Elungata told the standard in an exclusive interview.
