On September 29, 2019, Ms Kighenda’s vehicle plunged into the sea midstream.
The incident sparked outrage from Kenyans, who accused KFS of negligence.
The new ferry, Mv Safari was taken out of service after developing mechanical problems.
KFS has defended its decision not to put standby divers at the channel, which Mr Gowa had termed expensive after the ferry tragedy.
Exactly one year after Ms Mariam Kighenda and her four-year-old daughter Amanda Mutheu died in a tragedy caused by a faulty ferry, nothing much has been done to improve services at the Likoni channel in Mombasa.
Assurances by the government that services at the channel would be improved have only remained empty promises as the situation is still the same, if not worse.
