The weather of late has been so destructive; thus leaving many afraid and wondering what next. Talk about snow, earthquake, tornadoes, rain, fire and…
Listening to a radio talk show yesterday, the contributors blamed it all on climate change. There is no question that climate change has had its share/impact. But my question is, “Can we blame it all on climate change?”
What I find strange is that not that many people connect what’s happening to the signs of the last days. What do you think of the following passage?
“‘There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on the earth distress among nations confused by the roaring of the sea and the waves. People will faint from fear and foreboding of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see “the Son of Man coming in a cloud” with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.’ “(Luke 21:25-28)
Five matatu bus crew have been charged with failing to screen passengers in connection with the explosions in ill-fated buses on the Thika Road on Sunday.
They were charged with failure to prevent a felony, namely murder and were ordered to deposit personal bonds of Sh5 million each with two sureties of similar amounts.
The prosecution told the Makadara Chief Magistrate Emily Ominde that the crew failed to screen passengers “thereby allowing the buses to be blown up by an unknown passenger.”
Mr Robert Gakuru and Mr Joshua Wambugu, both drivers, and Mr James Munene, Mr Geoffrey Mwangi and Mr Antony Muthee who were conductors all denied the charge.
The case will be heard on July 17. A mention was set for May 20.
At least three people were killed and 62 wounded when two improvised bombs exploded on buses in the capital.
Of the 62 wounded, 20 were admitted in critical condition.
Sunday’s twin attacks were on two buses packed with commuters along Thika Road, headed to Githurai and Mwiki from the city centre.
The explosions came a day after two blasts at the Kenyan coast killed four people.
