Mercy
I fully support the government’s decision to remove LPG from supermarkets yes the generator caused the fire,
but the LPG accelerated it and made it impossibe to curb the fire easily ,also preventing a easier exit for any survivors who would have made it out because of the fumes and repeated explosions,so clearly any flammable products should be stored outside prefarably at a petrol station it saves more lives in such cases.

And people are seeing conspiracies that Nakumatt is no longer keeping gas and they are makingnoise about it.
Kasaya,
I agree with you.
They shouldnt store gas. Go buy it from gas stations. You can not keep gas where you also keep paint. Now Kenyans are complaining cause they want gas back at Nakumatt.
MAY THE LORD RICHLY BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

Its only a rogue daktari that will inject on the head of a patient with a headache and inject the stomach of one who has a stomach ailment. The matter I am likening to Kenya’s sickness is of greater magnitute than the simple illustrations of a headache and a stomachache.
Kenya is sick. ‘Very sick’ for that matter. We will not treat it with peacemeal solutions of this kind. Such solutions might helpful only for a while. We need to identify and treat the cause. Stocking gas or gas cylinders (read as flammable material) in Nakumatt was a symptom of an ailment in our country. Dont we have regulations that govern such businesses? Our ailment is that our systems do not work so much that it has become a norm. We have compromised them ourselves. It is a heroic act to do something wrong and get round it. Some whitewash wrong by legalising what is illegal.
-Are you saying that city council was not aware, long before, that Nakumatt had sealed the fire exit points?
-Who has not heard about the gymnastics of tax evasion in a number of these businesses?
-Who does not know where the management of Nakumatt is supposed to be after such a gross mistake ( I lack a better word). Instead they sleep in the comfort of their posh ‘bunkers’, go for the TV show of being prayed for (What a misuse of God’s name) and they are given such a ‘directive.’
That is the Kenya we want.
And life goes on.

Betty,
We first have to build our roads and drainage system before we do piped gas.. Imagine drainage coming out of your piped gas and it wont stop. what will you do?

In Western Countries, gas is piped to the houses. In Kenya, gas cylinders are kept inside the houses. A paradox of sorts with this kind order.
Most outlets keep gas cylinders outside and in grilled cages. Its Nakumatt that kept them inside. In Eastleigh, a whole kitchen wall of a flat flew out of the main building after a gas cylinder exploded.
