At least 40 pbadengers who were aboard the unfortunate Ugandan boat sank Sunday in Lake Victoria are missing.

Up to now, only 59 of the more than 100 pbadengers onboard when the vessel was named MV Templar sank near Mutima Beach in Mukono District.

The police spokesman for the rescue and recovery operation Zurah Ganyana said Monday that efforts to find more bodies had failed.

"Divers did not find any bodies in the boat. We try to rotate the sunken boat to make sure no human body gets stuck in the bottom, "she said.

At least 32 bodies were found, 26 people were saved and an unknown number is still not found.

The boat was sailing from KK Beach to the Ggaba site in Kampala to K-Palm Beach in Mukono District.

Neither the police nor the boat managers of KK Beach have a manifesto that can reveal the identity of all the pbadengers who were on board the unfortunate boat.

Mr. Sula Kasujja, a private diver who rummaged around the sunken boat on Monday, said he saw a white rag under the boat on the bottom of the lake.

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