The two deceased were identified as Fatou Bensouda, 2, and Eda Anyango, 4, and they were traveling with their mother to Kisumu in the passenger boat.
A local official said fishermen responding to distress calls rescued 21 of the 23 people on board the passenger boat and recovered the children’s bodies.
A spokesman said the boat, which was travelling in Kenya’s part of the vast inland lake, struck a fishing boat in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
