Seeking Justice for the Sinai Fire Disaster Victims

Six months ago, 120 Kenyan slum dwellers were burned to death, one early
September morning in 2011, when a fire broke out after a government owned
pipeline spilt close to  19 million cubic meters of fuel into a storm drain
passing through their village, Sinai.

Six months later the Kenya Pipeline Company’s Internal Investigation Report
into the causes and costs of the Sinai Fire disaster has emerged. The cause of
the massive fuel spillage is officially identified as a “failed gasket”
which “gave in” in “close proximity to an open storm drain.”

The Report is stunning in its callousness.

There is circumstantial evidence of gross corporate negligence and even reckless
endangerment.  A class action lawsuit against the Kenya Pipeline Company for the
corporate manslaughter of 120 Kenyans on 12 September 2011 is warranted, in our
humble opinion.

Mars Group uploads the report today in the public interest because we believe
that the Kenya Pipeline Company is under a public duty to provide a public
accounting for the Sinai village fire disaster.  Hopefully the Kenya Pipeline
Company will do the right thing.
