At Utumishi Girls Academy in Gilgil, Nakuru county,a dormitory gutted by fire at night.[Julius Chepkwony, Standard]
Kenyans woke to the shocking news of the death of 16 students in a fire incident at the Utumishi Girls Academy in Gilgil, Nakuru County, yesterday.
The cause of the fire is yet to be conclusively established, but what is not in doubt is that the safety of students must never be compromised.
This incident is the latest in a string of fatal school fires either caused by arson, negligence or electrical faults, all of which are unacceptable because school environments must be safe for learners.
