This is not about people learning a lesson & for those saying these people deserved it, shame on you, no one deserves death, sadly this is what Kenyans have been reduced to by a govrnment that has neglected them, a poor person only thinks of benefits not cost & sadly these people have paid with their lives, this will not be the last time this happens, i guarantee in the near future this will happen again, why dont we ask why these tankers keep beeing caught up in many accidents

..there are over 30 radio stations in over 20 languages not counting the tv stations & newspapers - that repeatedly announced the previous tragedy - one had to be living in a sealed cave not to have heard about it...

..do not blame MP's and poverty for wananchi's stupidity. We have to take our own responsibilities...I will save my sympathy this time.

Us the people will only move forward by burying the past...and politicians together with it. The country has enough resources, Land and meds included for everybody. The 'tribal' hatred only comes up when we allow politicians 2get in bet. us. Time to shut them off!

the kikuyu luo issue goes back on a long history. these elections were not fair - not by kibaki or government but also not by the luo reaction...

@lesbmistique:

what you are talking about is taking revenge and so kenya will NEVER BE IN PEACE if everyone keeps taking revenge and revenge.

stop that fu**ing issues, stop fighting. this is one country, one continent, one world.

TAKING REVENGE MEANS NO PEACE EVER! kenya will die like that. safe our children!

while the leaders are getting fatter and fatter, kenyans who blindly follow them suffer. smart leaders will be looking for solutions to this problem; why not ban tankers and transport all hazardous materials by rail? lakini hapana, wote wanataka tu kuwa ministers au mkubwa na kuloot. shame! also kenyans spend all their time looking at issues from a tribal or political angle, no wonder nothing gets done.
