  1. Im not happy about what happened but now you guys have enough occupation to stay where you areand take care of yourself to not send any police to haiti, thanks.

  2. I see below people blaming the gas depot owners for operating illegally and local citizens for living close to the gas depot illegally, but this gas depot has apparently run for a long time illegally and the government in charge of licensing and regulating the depot seem to have done nothing to either close them down or at least to get them to meet the conditions for operating legally. 
    A government that makes regulations to protect the people has the responsibility to see that those regulations are met.

  3. The People around the Area are Living in an industry area illegally You can see the Neighbouring Estates (NYAYO ESTATES)
    Very much separated from the area.
    So Residents have occupied the Area against the Law.

  4. The funny thing is that at first there was a rebuttal from the same person speaking there and he said it was a tanker and not an illegal refilling station. He seems to know the owners.

  5. Government is always telling us about something which they should have prevented,MP of Embakasi has raised alarm about these gas due to permeability blasts came at neighborhood this is a fail government it's all about lies before it's about mass grave know it's about blasts what next will be even worse.
