Business Back on Track in Mombasa After Train Derails

Experts will ensure that 3,000 litres of fuel from a Kenya Railways train ferrying fuel that derailed at Kibarani, completely cutting off Mombasa Island from the mainland, does not spill into the ocean and affect marine system, Maritime Principal Secretary Nancy Karigithu has said. Seven wagons of the train are said to have been submerged in the sea.

A heavy police contingent was been deployed at Kibarani, Changamwe to keep motorists and pedestrians away from the Makupa Causeway.
