The incident was reported to police by the school principal Edwin Namachanja. Police have launched an investigation to establish its cause.

In Machakos, authorities said a dormitory at Mwala Girls Secondary went up in flames on Monday morning destroying property of unknown value.

The fire started when the students were in class for their morning studies.

Mwala sub county police commander Damaris Mutanu said no casualty was reported.

On Saturday, a similar incident was reported at Kakamega High School days, Nyamira boys tech. after another one at Buru Buru Girls school in Nairobi.

  • In a notice, the school’s administration told the students to report back on Monday and Tuesday next week in the company of their parents with Ksh. 1,500 to cater for the damages.
  • “Form 3 and 4 to report on Monday 8th at 9:00 AM and Form 1 and 2 on Tuesday 9th at 9:00 AM,” the notice from the school read in part.

Kakamega High School Principal Gerald Orina, said the fire was put out with the assistance of the fire brigade from the county government of Kakamega.

“The teachers on duty had already put the students in class and immediately after at 5.45 am, we saw some fire in the dormitories. We went to put out the fire in order to save some of the students’ properties,” he said.
