In Summary
- Squatters say they will not move despite fire disasters
KPC conducts regular patrols to ensure that no holes are dug in the area, an elder, Mr Zebedeo Mairura said.
He said KPC also holds annual barazas to educate residents about the dangers of their environment.
“However, there is always the possibility that a leak can happen.”
Until that happens, residents will continue with their lives, despite the fact that they are walking on what could be the source of their deaths.
