A new government report is blaming the pilot of Precision Air for the crash last year in November in which 19 people died in Lake Victoria near Bukoba in Tanzania.
According to the Tanzania government report released on Wednesday by the Ministry of Works and Transport, prevailing poor weather led to the pilots failing to heed warning signals that were issued, despite the aircraft's steering equipment all being in proper working order.
