At least six people were rescued and taken to hospital with
injuries after a cargo train destined to Uganda derailed in Kibera slum,
Nairobi destroying houses and kiosks.
Transport Secretary Michael Kamau who led the rescue
operations said efforts were concentrated getting the train wreckage
from the site.
The train was carrying about 1000 tonnes of wheat to Kampala, Uganda when it derailed in the early morning hours of Sunday.
“We have rescued six people who have been taken to hospital with injuries,” Kamau said.
He has vowed to ensure the area close to the railway line is cleared to avoid future disasters.
“The people found the railway here and it’s not the railway that found
the people,” said agitated CS, insisting, “these people must be moved
out of this place.”
