Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has questioned the government’s handling of the Utumishi Girls fire tragedy, raising concerns over what he termed as a lack of clear, timely and comprehensive investigative reports following major school disasters in the country.
Speaking during an interview with The Standard, Matiang’i said he was troubled by what he described as a pattern in which public statements and official visits follow serious incidents involving the loss of children’s lives, but without detailed reports being made available to the public.
‘’A year down now, we have not seen any report on what exactly happened in Endarasha and now we have the disheartening Utumishi incident. The government is simply showing how much it doesn’t care about our children,’’ he said, linking the Utumishi Girls incident to a broader concern about unresolved school fire tragedies.
