The gas had reportedly started leaking at 9! And people called Embakasi police which is actually very nearby. Cops came after the gas exploded at 11:30 ๐ญ๐ญ
The people running this particular illegal gas refil were actually arrested in 2020! The tanker that exploded yesterday was also in police custody then released!!
For years Kenyans have complained about the racism from hotels in Malindi who openly prefer Italian tourists. Kiliwaramba Covid na bado kinawaramba. Diani on the other hand has so many offers for locals
Malindi is going through tough times. I am not sure even direct flights from Italy will help much if they expand the Airport.
Somehow Diani is thriving on the other side, and a large number of visitors are locals.
2 months ago while shooting at Kasarani the whole stadium dint have water due to unpaid water bills coz gok was apparently broke . Now we are balling enough to spend 300M a day at the same place we couldnโt pay water bills .

I used to stay literally next to Mradi in court 5 and I called NEMA so many times about an illegal gas refill place in Mradi . They used to handle gas so carelessly. I really hope itโs not the same place thatโs burning.

I visited a farm in tz that was about 49 acres full of fruits and cereals that the farmer exclusively sold to kenya . He had built two houses from that . Not sure you want to mess with large scale farmers in an election year
My cousin works at a clinic in ngara his colleague tested positive . The whole place has had to be closed and fumigated . All the staff sent home for quarantine. Iโm here trying to think of the people she treated who canโt really be traced

I took the pic below today morning itโs an overview of Eastlands from KICC , notice the thick black Smoke over the area which is now the new normal . That tree planting exercise is urgently needed in Eastlands
It's scary because anytime I see a missing person poster, I just know chances of them being found dead are really high๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ

Had a remarkable moment in Lamu while filming two fishermen. Witness the power of Diversion, an alternative to imprisonment, as it transforms lives, reduces prison numbers, and strengthens family bonds.

Unleashing your new 20million car a day after cost of living protests where 13 people have been shot dead by Police , yet you still wonder why people are angry . And btw this is the person who should be answering why people were shot dead !!

Data like this should be in your basics the fact that you are depending on Public to give you the information you should be have is depressing and clearly points out what is wrong with NTSA . How long till this culprit is arrested ? I will follow up on this story .
Kenya Police attacked opposition convoy as they exited Kware Embakasi South, Nairobi. Africa Uncensored managed to capture this exclusive footage of a plain cloth police officer lobbing teargas into this media vehicle. Two journalists were injured by teargas canisters

Thatโs so sad. I really hope people are okay. I saw the explosion from more than 20kms away. It was bound to happen they used to handle gas carelessly and there was also a lot of fires kwa vibanda around it.
Whole of Kilifi county canโt handle 100 bodies ? You bring in a makeshift mobile morgue then ban media and enforce a 6-8 curfew ?
Why is the Kenyan govt so desperate to hide whatโs happened on this 800 acre farm ?
The high number of bodies from the
#Shakahola
incident continues to overwhelm facilities in Kilifi County.
To support the county, with help from our partners
