Police in Nakuru are looking into an incident where the bodies of two flower farm workers were found floating in their employer’s dam at Roseta Flower Farm in Rongai Sub-County.
The bodies were discovered 3 days after the two went missing.
The naked bodies of the two men, who were partially submerged in water, could be spotted at different ends of the dam with their faces down attracting attention of the residents.
Initial investigations show deaths happened while they were swimming, the Kenya Plantation and Agriculture Workers Union (KPWU) claims that farm has not been reporting previous deaths.
In previous months another employee drowned at a dam owned by Roseta in Solai.
On those two occasions, Roseta did not notify the union of the employees’ deaths.
The union officials now want all dams in flower farms audited for safety.
