This comes after Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki announced security agencies had established contact with the 18 individuals and a multi-agency search & rescue mission deployed to trace the group. 

“All the eighteen passengers and crew are so far safe but are stranded at a yet-to-be-established location. A multi-agency search & rescue mission spearheaded by the Kenya Coast Guard is underway overnight,” said Kindiki.

According to Kenya Read Cross Coordinator Hassan Musa, the group got lost after choosing to take a shortcut to Garsen and parted ways with the flanking team.
