This they state that the Kenyan pipeline is a ticking time bomb, that one day it will cause unknown damage. Now more than one thousand families are left in the cold. The government instead of compensating the victims is now shifting the blame to the peasants and the insurer of the pipeline. The locals are now being house under the care of Tom Mboya memorial hall along Jogoo Road where their fate is uncertain. From the past review of how the Internally Displaced Persons cases were handled this depicts the government of Kenya lack of appropriate tool to disaster management and preparedness. The unprecedented events further dammed the government lack to facilitate for its people when the rescue missions were carried out by Kenya Red Cross Society with the help of Sinai residents. One day after the tragedy the government did not provide for the machinery required to help search for the missing person in the river. However, concerned residents were seen wading with no protective clothing in the murky sewer waters of the Gong River looking for bodies of their loved ones. Now a month is ending and the government only offers promises to the victims just like the IDP's were given false promises which were never to be till now they are living in camps in major towns of Kenya.
