Losing 12 buses and a lorry is no joke.

12 buses @ 10m = 120m
1 lorry - 7m

Total loss 127 m.

Will the insurance pay?

Quote:
A businessman is counting huge losses after a fire gutted 12 buses and a lorry at a garage in Kenyatta Road estate, Juja.

Joseph Kariuki, the proprietor of Chania Special Travellers Sacco, said he was informed on phone of the Sunday morning fire by the caretaker. Kariuki led detectives from Juja police station to the scene to assess the damage.

The businessman said the fire was put out by residents and the Kiambu Firefighters, although they could not salvage any of the buses that ply the Thika-Nairobi-Mombasa route.

The caretaker said he was woken up by a loud bang at 3am. “I woke up and found two of the buses on fire. I rushed and opened the gate into the garage and residents responded to put out the fire. But before the firefighters had arrived the flames had spread to other buses and a lorry.”

It will depend on the kind of Insurance cover he had and the exclusions therein.

This is a sad affair.Me thinks its business rivalry.The company had created a niche for itself especially on the Mombasa route.

Hope we shall get to know what happened.

Some people have a good heart.
All he said and calmly so was that he prays for those who did it to get saved.

These Chania buses used to do Rift Valley route then post election violence happened and He switched to Thika - Mombasa route.

Chania doesn't compete with Thika road buses/matatus so i am doubting the business rivalry angle

Maybe coastal route rivalry. Remember they have been targeted in the past.
