The family of Irine Otieno has been searching for her body for over two weeks in vain.
Irine met her tragic death on May 3 after she drowned in River Nzoia in Kakamega County.
Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, her daughter Achieng Otieno disclosed that the 56-year-old died while at her farm.

"She had gone to check on her vegetables when the unfortunate happened," a heartbroken Achieng said.
The grieving daughter noted that they had engaged different people to help with the search operations, but none has yielded fruit.
She added that they have contacted all the rescue teams in Kenya, tried local divers and coast guards, and hired boats in vain.
With 16 days gone since she drowned and no signs of the body, the family is at their tail end of wits.
"We have prayed near the scene of the incident in vain. I stay awake all night, trying to make sense of everything," Achieng wrote on Facebook.
Her family has used all their resources and has depended on support and prayers from friends.
Achieng recalled being with her mother in April, a few weeks before the incident, and even posted a picture of her while making ugali.
"I have a weight on my head that I wish social media, the county government and anyone who knows or can conceive this pain would help us," she pleaded.
Elsewhere, efforts by the family of missing Murang'a businessman Samuel Kamau Kagwanja to find his whereabouts came to a tragic end.
This is after his lifeless body was found covered in mud on the banks of the Sagana River a week after he disappeared.
Samuel was last seen at Laibon Gardens in Murang’a County on Thursday, May 2, as he left to meet a friend.
