[Collins Oduor, Standard]ODM leader Raila Odinga has said the Siaya tanker accident should be the last incident of its nature. "The scene of this latest accident is barely 10km from Sidindi where a similar accident claimed lives in 1998," he said o Twitter. Three women, one of them seven months pregnant, are among the Saturday night oil tanker fire victims. "As we mourn and reflect, I hope against hope that this may be the last time our people are dying out of a scramble for fuel from an overturned tanker," Raila said. The accident brings painful memories of similar ones where scores died after attempting to siphon oil from tankers involved in accidents.
