President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga have sent in their condolence messages to the people of Ethiopia and all those affected by Sunday’s air crash involving an Ethiopia Airlines plane.

We are saddened by the news of an Ethiopian Airlines passenger aircraft that is reported to have crashed 6 minutes after takeoff en route to Kenya. My prayers go to all the families and associates of those on board.

The cause of this accident is yet to be made public even after the airlines revealed that rescue operations are ongoing.
The airline said the plane was a Boeing 737 800 Max, the same model aircraft involved in the Indonesian Lion Air crash in October in which the plane plunged into the sea shortly after takeoff, 190 people were killed.
It has been confirmed that 32 Kenyas were on board and perished in the grisly accident.
