Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has called for urgent action to stop recurring school dormitory fires after at least 15 students died at Utumishi Girls Academy in Gilgil.

The blaze broke out in the wee hours of Thursday, May 28, killing students in their dormitory.

In a statement, Kalonzo urged political leaders attending the National Prayer Breakfast to move beyond condolences and address safety failures in schools.
