Kenyans speak after Mai Mahiu tragedy

In today's morning conversation, Maina Kageni spoke on the Mai Mahiu tragedy that has seen over 45 Kenyans lose their lives.

He started by saying,

"Hours after the dam in Old Kijabe burst its banks on Monday morning sweeping everything on its way, 45 bodies including 17 minors were recovered around the scene."

Maina then asked listeners to give their heartfelt messages to the bereaved,

"This is just heartbreaking! A message or a word of encouragement to the families."

MichaelMich4· Cheap and poor engineering works are mostly the cause. Yet you will find that the government and cooperate institutions don't respect the genuine professionals. Poor infrastructures will continue claiming innocent lives. Condolences to all the families.112
