Another tragedy is in waiting at the Likoni Ferry crossing Channel if the authorities will fail to act.
One of the ferries at the channel on Monday afternoon suffered an engine failure while in the middle of the waters.
The ferry was drifted using tides towards the open sea to save the lives of the occupants.
The channel has witnessed tragedies in the past, with lives getting lost.
A middle-aged man was saved from drowning at the Likoni ferry on Thursday morning 14 November.
According to Kenya ferry services, the man who is yet to be identified, was see running fast as he was going to board the Mv Jambo which was loading passengers at the time.
The management says the man seemed mentally ill as he ran straight and dived into the water but struggled to swim.
The incidences come days after a Kenyatta University bus almost drowned but was rescued and not casualties were reported.
Kenya Ferry stated that the driver of the bus failed to maintain a safety speed to ascend at the mainland causing the incident.
In September 29 this year, Mariam Kighenda and her daughter Amanda Mutheu died after their car slipped off and drowned at the Likoni ferry.
The car was retrieved 13 days after the incident and their bodies found still in an embraced position.
