Thika Businessman Counting Losses as 13 Buses Are Torched in Suspected Arson

A businessman is counting losses running into millions of shillings after 13 of his buses were set on fire in Thika town in suspected arson attack on Saturday night.

The buses operating under Chania Special Travellers sacco had been parked at a garage along Kenyatta Road estate, Juja when the incident happened.

A caretaker at the facility said he heard a huge explosion before the fire broke out in the garage, razing down the buses.

“I was awoken by a huge explosion and when I came out of the house all the buses were on fire. It was so huge I could not put it off on my own,” said the caretaker.

Joseph Kamau, the owner of the garage said there were indications that it was arson and not an accident.

“I was alerted by the caretaker and I called the firefighters from Kiambu but unfortunately all buses had burnt. These buses were burnt by someone with a certain intention,” said Mr. Kamau.

Police have commenced investigations to ascertain the cause of the inferno that reduced a multi-million shilling enterprise to ashes.

Wafrika hawakuwa na tabia…

Wafrika hawakuwa na tabia mbovu kama hii kabla hawajafuata nyayo za ndugu zetu wa kutoka Yuropa. Siyo watu wote wa asili ya kutoka Yuropa ni maharamia. Walio majambazi ni Waingereza, Wafaransa, Waspania, Wadachi, Watu wa asili ya Denmark, Wajerumani, Warusi, Wataliani, na Wabeljiji. Watu hawa wote, popote walipokwenda, walinyakua mashamba ya watu na kuyafanya yao, waliwaua wenye nchi wasiokuwa na hatia yoyote, waliwabandika watu majina yao, dini yao, na kufutilia mbali imani ya watu.

Watu wa asili ya Yuropa kwa kawaida wana tabia mbovu za kusema wongo, kuiba nchi za watu, (Greenland, Canada, Marekani, Mexico, na nchi zote za Marekani ya Kati na ya Kusini, visiwa vyote vya Caribbean, Australia, na pia New Zealand) huku wakisambaza (spread) dini yao ya ujambazi.

Tabia mbovu tunazoona katika bara la Afrika zinatokana na sisi Wafrika kuiga (imitate) tabia zao mbovu. Je, nauliza, kweli ni ungwana kuyateketeza mabasi ya mtu bila sababu?

Kusema kweli, hatukuwa na ujuzi wa kiteknolojia kama ndugu zetu wa Yuropa! Lakini tulikuwa na mila ambazo hazikuruhusu watu kuzaaana ovyo bila ndoa. katika taifa langu dogo, wezi hawakuwepo. Msema uongo hakuruhusiwa kuzungumza mbele ya watu. Sasa, mambo yamebadilika. Uhalifu wote wa kutoka Yuropa umekuwa ndio sehemu kubwa sana za mila zetu mpya.
