Mining, Blue Economy, and Maritime Affairs CS Hassan Joho has asked President William Ruto to allow him to procure a rescue helicopter.
Speaking on Thursday, August 29during the Thanksgiving ceremony of Treasury CS John Mbadi in Homa Bay County, Joho said he has been informed about people losing their lives in Lake Victoria.
The Mining CS noted that a rescue helicopter will help in cases of emergence in the lake.
“I have been told that people are dying here every day in the lake while trying to earn a living. Mr President, I am organizing the ministry’s work, but when you give the command, everyone will follow.
“I know that on Saturday you will be visiting the search and rescue and communication project in Kisumu, Honorable President, and I want you, while you are there, to give me the order, and I will pass it on to my people, that in this area of Lake Victoria, we urgently need to procure a rescue helicopter to save people in the lake,” Joho stated.
