The boat was carrying 34 passengers.

“So far, 20 people have been confirmed dead, and nine (9) rescued. The boat was carrying bags of charcoal, fresh foods, and silverfish, among others,” he noted.

According to Onyango, the cause of the accident is attributed to overloading and bad weather.

“Rescue efforts are underway with teams from Police Marines, UPDF Fisheries Protection Unit and the local community on the waters trying to locate the missing people. We appeal to members of the public who travel on waters to always wear life jackets and not to overload their vessels,” he added.
