Friday, February 2, 2024 - A
video has emerged of the aftermath of Thursday night's gas explosion in
Embakasi East constituency that claimed the lives of 3 people and injured 271.
According to Government Spokesman, Isaac Mwaura, the
accident happened after a lorry loaded with gas cylinders exploded.
"Yesterday (Thursday) at around 11:30 pm, there was a
huge explosion at Mradi area, in Embakasi, Nairobi County. One Lorry loaded
with gas exploded, igniting a huge ball of fire that spread widely,"
Mwaura said.
Mwaura further revealed that a flying gas cylinder hit the
Oriental Godown nearby, burning it down.
The godown deals in garments and textiles.
The owner of the gas depot was operating it illegally and he
survived by bribing state officials.
Here is the video of the aftermath that has exposed how corruption in the government can kill its citizens.
