Conspicuously, the major catalyst of the inferno that razed Nakumatt Downtown on Wednesday is the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).Numerous explosions were heard reverberating the city minutes after the fire broke out.
It’s sad that tens of shoppers and the supermarket employees have lost their lives after the disaster. Minister Beth Mugo on Thursday ordered that LPG shouldn’t be sold in enclosed places like supermarkets.
This is long overdue. It is not strange to find so many other explosive in nature items being sold in such places. It’s the high time the government bans their sales in enclosed and crowded places.
