MOMBASA: Following an accident on Sunday morning at Likoni Ferry, Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Nassir is advocating for a ban on vehicles using the Likoni ferry.

The incident involved a bus traveling from Ukunda to Nairobi, which tipped over while disembarking, leaving nine passengers injured.

After visiting the injured at Coast General Teaching and Referral Hospital, Governor Nassir highlighted the urgent need for enhanced safety measures for both pedestrians and motorists.
