Kasai Occidental Province Deputy Governor Hubert Mbingho said Tuesday that at least 153 passengers were on the boat that capsized late Saturday on the Kasai River. But he said the passenger list only had 36 names.
"We are waiting for investigations to finish so that we can arrest and punish all officials who were in charge of checking the vessel safety condition," he said.
Two survivors said "hundreds" of people were aboard when the engine caught fire, leading the boat to capsize.
