It's sad Moha abandoned his investigative expertise to join politics...no one investigates for us anymore. You were the best investigator. Consider coming back to investigations please.

Pple shld not wait upon the Govt to act,those pple up thea stopped being normal along time ago.Good samaritans and heartful kenyans shld act,for the innocent n helpless pple.May heart bleeds for the children.
Very sad indeed as I see innocent citizen loosing their lives because of corruption I can't hold my tears back. Am praying that God will see them through and for those who are responsible u will pay every tear that has drop because God will never let u go away with such offence.
Kenya inchi yaajabu. Bora kwetu tz. Japo kunatatizo la hawa waindi kutoajiri wafanyakazi. Piya kulipa mishara finyu. Piya kutolipa likizo za wafanyakazi walio ajiriwa..
Corruption is the mother of all evils,people are dying while they are just pointing fingers on one another..Sasa tungoje kusikia jopo limewekwa watu waende workshops,na mambo yaishie hapo poleni sana ndugu zetu wa OWINO UHURU..
Corrupted government. Life of a common citizen have got no meaning .its so sad.nema should be held responsible .thanks moha and namu for being the voice to the voiceless.
I'm so hurt and sad...our government was and still is reluctant to take action where is mheshimiwa Sonko in this this people need rescuing urgently and governor Joho too prove that u have a soul
Kwakweli bila kumsifia kaka magu. Ila naamini rais wetu hawa watu wasingepanda ndege. Piya hata wangeenda aliyewatorosha na wahusika wote wangeneswa. Kuanzia wizara ya aridhi, afya, viwanda, uwekezaji hadi mwenyekiti wa hicho kitongoji.
Am sad, sad to see how useless and ignorant our government is. How long will it take for such government protect its own citizens ? You may dehumanize those poor kids and family but you will never steal their soul. 😡
All the approving persons and agencies plus the people involved must be punished. Wakenya wanaumizwa na kuathirishwa bila mtetezi. Huu unyama kwa binadamu ikomeshwe haraka iwezekanavyo.
very sad watoto,wazee,wamama,na vijana wakiangamia bila kuwa na hatia.hii yote imesababishwa na usimamizi mbaya na shirika la mazingila.i wish mishuki was alive.
Sad and very sad....although am happy to hear a second person saying..."kenya belongs to the haves......havenot have no space"....may God punish the haves!!!
for me i blame kenya government for being against kenyan citizens , why all this happens when all members of parliaments gets salary over 500k while common kenyans gets less than 15,000ksh per month .... greedy people in government shame on you .
It's a sad fact that to be poor in Africa is almost like to be on death row. We are No longer human beings. Just animals and animals would even disown us.
with all the proof and evidence the Attorney general has disapproved the compensation of the locals affected with irreversible impacts of the lead poison..
"Owino Uhuru dwellers suffer blow in pursuit of Sh1.3bn poison pay" TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 15 2020..This is the information posted after the Attorney general kihara kariuki ruled out the case until further....
Their dreams were just shattered just like that and there were leaders to protect those innocent peoples but all those who took part in this heinous act they wont be spared either their death and those of their beloved one will be more painful than what these people felt and their shuttered generation God has never lied wait for your days.... They were denied a little justice but they will get it in a more advanced way😡😠😡😠
Some of this public officers are still in the offices upto date despite all this illegal acts on human and environment lives were lost and environment was destroyed Kenya where's love for our people and our country,why these shoddy deals with this Indians in Kenya the likes of Adani deals currently in happening has and will cost our country and will keep risking the lives of our people and country.we need to put our country and our people first.
Owino Uhuru slum dwellers in Mombasa who were severely affected by poisoning from a metal refinery will have to wait longer for the Sh1.3 billion compensation awarded by the court as State moves to overturn the pay. The poisonous emissions from the smelting factory left victims with irreversible health conditions while some lost their lives. However, the beneficiaries of the pay have more reasons to worry as Attorney General has opposed the award. Through a notice of appeal, the AG has indicated that it was aggrieved with the award and will be seeking to have it overruled by the Court of Appeal. “Take notice that the AG being dissatisfied with the whole decision of the Environment and Land Court, intends to appeal to the Court of Appeal against the same,” says the notice. The decision to appeal comes as a setback to the affected families who have been waiting patiently for compensation after losing their loved ones and suffering severely due to exposure to the poisonous substance. The Court of Appeal will be expected to re-look at the issues that the environment and land court found to have been done incorrectly, thus exposing the residents to the adverse effects of lead poisoning. According to Environment and Land Court Judge Ann Omollo, the State is supposed to shoulder 70 percent of the total award after a finding that its agencies failed to discharge their duties as required by law. The National Environment Management Authority (Nema), who was determined to have had a 40 percent culpability, was for instance found to have failed terribly in discharging its mandate thereby exposing the affected residents to the effects of the poison from the factory. Nema was largely blamed for assisting the factory to breach the law instead of holding it to account by making procedural blunders that eventually resulted into a disaster, which will cost the government millions of shillings to rectify. Documents relied on in the case indicate that everything went wrong from the initial stages of the approval of the project as no measures were taken to ensure its activities would not have devastating effects on the environment and the community within its areas of operations. Instead of showing that they did due diligence, the government agencies involved in the matter blamed the victims for continuing to live in an area that was zoned as industrial and also for failing to move out after learning of the pollution The lead smelting factory, Metal Refineries (EPZ) Ltd was directed to pay 25 percent of the money for being the direct source of the poison while Penguin Paper and Book Company will meet five percent for leasing out its land to the factory.
If the people of owino Uhuru will be moved to another place such a place should be fully done away with to avoid in future ppl coming to live there or the company to buy the whole area n build there n buy a better place with better health facilities for these people.. May God help them
Sad story it is, how could the Asia metal refinery company do this? Where was NEMA? Someone should be held responsible for this heavy metal menace. The lead exposure impacts negatively on all biological systems posing a great health hazard to the people and environment. The community has been left devastated with damaged brains, kidneys, miscarriages, infertility, learning disabilities and damaged nervous systems. Water and food chains here are full of the heavy metal. It clearly shows lack of institutional capacity in handling environmental matters, NEMA should wake up and go beyond just conducting environmental Impact assessments and Environmental audits and strengthen on the policies and regulations stipulated under EMCA 1999.
It's too sad indeed to see that still happening greedy and corrupt cartels in Kenya making People suffer and die due to Colica Pictorum .NEMA, Public Health and local leaders there what a big shame !
butelezi00roman Why blame the President for crimes committed in a village or a locality. There are people mandated to oversee such roles. Honestly speaking the President cannot micro-manage every square meter in the Country he governs. Lets be objective in holding people accountable
butelezi00roman We can't be blaming the President everytime there are local leaders from that region and authorities which govern and control industries e.g on Occupational Health and Safety of People.
How dare these idiots come to our country & mistreat our people? What happened to street justice? These fools ought to be taught a lesson. Kenyans need to stand up for yourselves, this is unacceptable, film them abusing you, then post those videos online... Trust me, SOMETHING will be done... Your dignity is more important than those bullshit jobs they offer... USELESS!
