This week, as I prepared for the ‘Kitui Run for Rain’ race, the country woke up to yet another school tragedy where 16 girls died at Utumishi Girls Academy in Gilgil, Nakuru County.
In the midst of the inferno that police now believe to have been started by fellow students, desperate girls pressed against a locked emergency exit that should never have been bolted, in a dormitory overcrowded beyond capacity.
It turned out that two teachers, chose not to act despite advance warning of trouble. A familiar tale that always come back like a bad dream.
