Kenya Pipeline is culpable. What Sinai people need is a good lawyer for a class action suit.
Consider this: The company evacuated their people from the plant when the leakage was detected. Whatever the measures they hard to warn people living downstream at sinai were clearly not sufficient. This is negligence. It may not matter to some that it is slum dwellers who perished and not Buruburu residents.
Consider this: In a plant like theirs, fuel pipes are running all over the place. Pipes leak and burst anywhere due to age, stress, wear and tear etc. Knowing this, any operators in their right mind should know how to contain fuel safely within their plant and neutralize it. I would not be surprised to hear them say that they are ISO certified, what a laugh.
Consider this: It is not the first time they are draining leaked fuel thro' sewers and drains passing Sinai. Did someone say NEMA? NEMA is a toothless bulldog just like KACC, who have they taken to court and won?
It is foolish to scoop spilled fuel, but Pipeline owes a duty of care to those who live and transact business within their vicinity. The fire next time will be from those trucks they allow to park and cue for fuel all over Lungalunga and Nanyuki road. Pass this roads any time of day and you will see people busy buying and selling siphoned fuel from the tankers.
Have you seen that video? considering those people refused to move from KPC's land after being warned - how is it KPC's fault?
KPC did the following:
- Asked people to hama (as early as 2008) from KPC's Land (hawakusikia), ati "hakuna hatari!"
hii mambo ya kuwa kaka sungura halafu when things go haywire you are refuse to take responsibility and shift it to KPC lazima ikwishe. Kenyans need to take INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR CRIME/WRONGS THEY DO - not blaming others yet u know u are the one who cut a corner. Kila mtu ana akili zake don't expect others to always be thinking for you.
