YAOUNDE, May 6 (Reuters) - There was no word of any survivors from a Kenya Airways plane found in a swamp on Sunday more than a day after it went missing with 114 passengers and crew on board, Cameroon's government said.

"For now we cannot say whether there were any survivors or not. Access to the area is very difficult," Minister of State for Territorial Administration Hamidou Yaya Marafa told reporters.

"We are beginning a new painful phase. Our task will be more difficult now, the task of recovering the corpses," he said.
