Two boys on Sunday, December 29, drowned in Masinga dam.

According to reports by Capital News, the boys aged 10 were fishing using a wooden boat when tragedy struck.

The bodies were retrieved.

The incident is one of many that have been reported in 2019.

In October 2019, a man drowned on after an ox-drawn cart he was riding on accidentally plunged into the dam.

Water flows from Masinga Dam’s spillway following heavy rains in the Mt Kenya region on May 17, 2018.

The man identified as Stephen Nzomo, was riding from Kikulani village in Mwea sub-location and when he arrived the ox rushed to drink water before he could alight.

In May, two people drowned while a third one escaped death by a whisker after their boat capsized. 

The three were trying to cross the dam when they were hit by a strong current causing the boat to capsize.

In December, heavy rains experienced in many parts of the country caused the dam’s water levels to surpass the capacity. 

Water and Irrigation Cabinet Secretary Simon Chelugui issued a warning to residents living in areas close to Masinga Dam to move to safer grounds stating that the dam may break.

“Residents living near Masinga dam urged to move to higher grounds; CS Chelugui warns it may break banks,” read the update published on Twitter.
