A tragic and heartbreaking incident has shaken Kenya as the nation mourns the victims of a fatal school fire in Nyeri County. Kenyan President William Ruto described the fire as horrific and devastating, as it claimed the lives of 18 children with dozens more still unaccounted for.
The blaze broke out in a boarding school late on Thursday night, sparking grief and anger amongst the community. The incident has also brought attention to the widespread flouting of fire safety regulations in the country, raising questions about the safety measures in place at educational institutions.
As the country grapples with this tragedy, there is a collective sense of mourning and loss for the young lives cut short in this devastating fire. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of fire safety and the need for stricter regulations to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future. My thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the victims during this difficult time.
