Some 300,000 people have been left homeless, at least 130 were killed and thousands have been injured.

Sounds like the prime minister is looking for a scape goat. I have little knowledge of the problem, but sounds to me like this main reasons were 1. Irresponsible business man leaving his ship and cargo to its fate 2. lack of understanding from the ones running the harbour/authorities about just how dangerous the cargo was 3. lack of action from authorities/those running the harbour in moving the dangerous cargo from the harbour to a safer location or making necessary safety measures.
Lack of action by authorities can however also spring from bad legislation. I.e. in practise perhaps nobody was clearly responsbile for dealing with this! Of course, it should have been the ship owner in the end who should have paid for and take responsbility and not tax payers/authorities. But the process of making the responsible one take action can be slow. I.e. what if a business owner refuses to act according to what authorities demand? Legal processes can take a long time.

Seemingly the ammonium nitrate was taken off a russian freighter deemed unfit to go to sea 6 or so years back obviously improperly stored beside fireworks ffs.
