It was the Kenyan citizens who mainly bore the brunt of this attack that led to the deaths of over 200 people and left more than 5,000 people injured. As a result of the bomb blast, Mr. Charles Njonjo was appointed to head a commission, which received some donations of money from well wishers, which was subsequently distributed to the families of the victims to cover burial expenses and to survivors in accordance with their degree of injuries sustained---”"
