Kenya: Anxiety Now Turns to Frustration, Anger

Nairobi: Anxiety and anger has gripped relatives of passengers and crew who perished on the Kenya Airways plane that crashed in Cameroon last Saturday.
Despite having travelled thousands of kilometres to Douala from as far away as India, Kenya and China, the relatives are yet to reach the site of the crash that is hardly 30 kilometres from their hotel rooms.
And on Thursday, they expressed their anger and frustration soon after meeting with the two ministers from the Cameroonian government.
The families agreed to meet and put pressure on the Kenya government and Kenya Airways to have them get access to the recovered body parts and the crash site. However, by yesterday nothing had taken place.
Some of the relatives who arrived in Douala on Sunday evening now want to be taken to the crash site and the military mortuary where the body parts recovered are being preserved.
Others want answers from Kenya Airways and the Cameroonian government on whether it was sensible to fly them all the way to Douala and stop them from accessing the crash site.
