The boat was sailing from KK Beach at Ggaba Landing Site in Kampala to K- Palm Beach in Mukono District.

Neither the police nor the boat managers at KK Beach have a manifest that can reveal the identities of all the passengers that were aboard the ill-fated boat.

A private diver, Mr Sula Kasujja, who searched around the sunken boat on Monday, said he saw a white cloth below the boat on the lake bed.

The police tied a rope to the sunken boat, which had tilted on one side and started pulling it to allow divers see whether there are bodies underneath.

They called off the operation after failing to turn it on Monday evening. -DAILY MONITOR
