However, the TARDA was not aware that the mentioned school planned to visit the reservoir on the particular day. Since there was no communication concerning the visit, TARDA was not able to make arrangements for logistical support and guided tours of the area."

"content": "(b) Commercial boats have not been authorized by TARDA for use on the reservoir. However, a few locals own boats which they use for subsistence fishing on the reservoir but without permission from TARDA. These boats are sometimes unmanned or abandoned. Any such activity whenever brought to the attention of the authority is highly discouraged. It would appear that the two students who drowned used one of such abandoned boats. On safety measures, the Authority has designated entry or access points to the reservoir which are used during organized and guided tours."

However, TARDA deeply regrets the loss of the two young Kenyans during the incident. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir."

What is shocking is the fact that the Ministry is talking of discouraging and yet it is the one that is in charge of waters. The Ministry is very much aware that the waters belong to TARDA and we have not seen any signboard anywhere. We have not seen any patrol anywhere; we have not seen anybody---"

However, for TARDA to be held responsible, any organized group that would like to have site-viewing of the reservoir must pass through the official gate or the official entry point to the reservoir. By doing so, they will be provided with guided tours and patrols as they go to the reservoir. In this case, the bus that was carrying the students did not pass through the authorized gates to the reservoir."

How come that the Ministry is not being held responsible, and yet it is the one that mans the waters?"
