Azimio leader Raila Odinga has demanded that the government compensate each family affected by the Embakasi gas explosion with Sh500,000, calling it a case of "pure negligence".

Raila made the remarks on Tuesday, February 6, after visiting the Mradi area in Embakasi, where a gas plant exploded last week, killing six people and injuring more than 300 others.
