A decade after an oil spillage from the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) devastated Thange Village, residents of Makueni County are still grappling with its devastating environmental and health consequences.

 

The spillage, which occurred on May 12, 2015, was attributed to a suspected leak along the Mombasa-Nairobi pipeline. While emergency teams were dispatched to contain and clean up the spill, by June 15 of the same year, petroleum traces had already contaminated the Thange River in Kibwezi East Constituency.
