Now now...is it true that Mater Hosp refused to take in patients coz they didn't know who was going to foot the bill? Some please tell me this is not true...Pray Pray

Highly likely, this hospitals have become extortionists. It however feels bad that church spornsore hospitals are that greedy.

Whenever you go to such like hospitals they normally ask whether you have a cover or not. As a slum dweller, unfortunately to them, it means alot different to being a 'resident of runda'. Aslum dweller to them is like a liability as they will have to write off the debt unless someone pays for them. That is not all, a friend of mine visited a hospital and payed cash for a common disease. on going back for the same on a 'cover' he realised the bill was three times te previous bill.

Tafakari.

Kenya Pipe line should accept full responsibility. I'm sure they have insured against such though I don't know if any insurer will pay as they knowingly discharged fuel into open drains and sewer lines.

And they should be telling the public what measures they are taking to prevent such spillage from leaving their plant untreated and flammable.

When it rains it pours. There is still the small matter of the award of KES 4.6b in favour of KK that KPC has been desperately trying to have reversed. And now this.

Was it overflow from their tanks or a blown jointing (Gasket) along the pipeline?....If it was an overflow,NEMA should be all over their sorry selfs for discharging pollutants to a live river.

KPC should not be blamed for the fire...

reason...KPC made an attempt some time back to get the dwellers from the line to acceptable zone of safety, only to be met with hostile resistance...

what do you mean..they knowingly discharged fuel into open drains and sewer lines.? i thought this was an accidental leak from a bust pipe!!
...besides, the presence of a safe alone does not signify that there is money inside...
