Residents of Kibwezi East in Makueni have sued the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) and Nema, seeking compensation for an oil spill that contaminated River Thange and its environs in May this year.

The residents in a petition filed at the Milimani High Court accuse KPC and the National Environmental Management Authority (Nema) of negligence, arguing that the institutions ignored calls from villagers reporting burst underground pipes for over five months.
