Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has said he believes overcrowding was responsible for Saturday’s boat disaster on Lake Victoria in which at least 30 people died.

The vessel was designed to transport 50 people but is said to have been carrying 120 passengers.

Many are still missing. They had been holding a party on board when the boat capsized. The Ugandan president said the operators of the unlicensed vessel would be prosecuted.
