Not to sound insensitive, but what was this omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent god doing while they were burning to death? Was he jerking off??
And how does he comfort the traumatized families and witnesses when he could have completely prevented the accident,and the accompanying trauma? Kwanza on Sunday?
I know, he’s a mysterious god.

Am waiting to see what legislation(s), will be passed to safeguard the public, and if the laws already exists, what action will be taken.

This is a scene from hell!
I understand the truck had M7 (Ugandan) registration number… having policemen in it, carrying flammable materials for which it wasn’t designed to carry…
Kuna mtu alilala kazini.

That’s fcuked up, if so, corruption then have consumed innocent by standers, but then, we as Kenyans are not innocent when it comes to corruption.

Very sad. Just goes to show how much heat was generated. I doubt we’ll ever know exactly how many people were involved.
In such accidents, such as the one that happened in Sachang’wan some years back, people closest to the heat source are almost always immediately pulverized, unakuwa vapour tu.

The number of people who died on Saturday evening when a truck carrying inflammable substances rammed into several vehicles before bursting into flames near Karai on the Nairobi-Naivasha Highway has increased to 40, deputy county commissioner Isaac Masinde has said.

Two survivors of the accident have been admitted at the Nairobi hospital; one in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and while the other is said to be in stable condition.

Witnesses at the scene said the driver of the tanker lost control and hit the other vehicle which created chain of knocks.

The accident on the busy highway, some 80 kilometres west of Nairobi created a horrible scene.

Four victims of the Saturday night accident were taken to the Naivasha Mt Longonot Medical Centre while two were treated and discharged. Two others, according to the Clinical Officer at the facility Dalmas Otumba, were taken to Nairobi hospital for specialised treatment.

According to a preliminary police report released on Sunday morning, the truck (registration number UAK 519C) hit a bump before its driver lost control and rammed into a vehicle in front and other vehicles before it burst into flames.

“The fire spread very fast burning 10 other vehicles. A General Service Unit (GSU) Land Cruiser registration number GK B 961G was also burnt, killing the officers on board. Most bodies were burnt beyond recognition,” said the police report.

“At the scene, two containers of premium bond substance said to be highly flammable were recovered and suspected were among the items carried in the truck,” added the report.

Nation reporters at the scene, on Sunday morning, counted 12 shells of burnt out vehicles and confirmed there are two bumps at the section of the road where the accident happened.

Transport PS Irungu Nyakera, while addressing the media on Sunday morning at the scene, said that nine police guns were also recovered and put the death toll at 33.

National Disaster Management Unit boss Pius Maasai has advised those who lost their loved ones to report at Naivasha Police station for assistance.

According to him, most of the bodies can be identified.

All the bodies, Mr Maasai said, will be taken to Naivasha mortuary.

The Kenya Red Cross has set up an information desk at the Naivasha police station where relatives have been urged to report their missing ones for identification.

NTSA boss Francis Meja confirmed that 12 vehicles were burnt, adding that one was a PSV and the rest private.

The matatu was carrying 14 passengers, who all perished.

The tanker, which was coming from Nairobi, was negotiating the hilly part of the road, before knocking a matatu and exploded into flames.

MEDICS STRIKE

Earlier, a Kenya Red Cross official said rescuers had taken 30 bodies to Naivasha Sub-County Hospital Mortuary.

Don’t hold your breath. The laws are already there but we prefer to disregard them. Laws and commonsense are for idiots. People will go on about god and bad luck then after a couple of days it’ll all be forgotten. Until the next tragedy.
