3 days of national mourning followed by years of inaction. We all know nothing will be done to prevent future school fires.

It's not the first time this happens.
Could it be that islamic jihadists and their muslim supporters had a jand in this crime against humanity.?
Islamic jihadists are also very active in East Africa..

If the school owner is somehow connected to one of government officials then they will cover up the course of fire and a lot of kenyan know the school is against law because dorms should not be constructed with sheet and woods, the worse part is a single dorm had 157 pupils and why lock the dorms at night from outside and why the matron sleep far from the kids

@kevinashiono8155

The LSK should advise the parents of those children who lost their lives in this tragedy, to file a class action lawsuit against the government of Kenya, for failing to enforce the Laws on the books that would have prevented these fires

It’s so unfortunate. Ever heard of Immersive Translate?? It's a tool that supports real-time subtitles and generate them for videos in foreign languages. With the subtitles, you fully understand the video content and naturally learn a foreign language while watching

In the country of Indonesia, criminality is sadistic. In Indonesia, crime is a daily occurrence.

Surely there is a government inspector that is meant to check safety of schools and procedures for emergency such as fire exists and extinguishers.

This has been going on for YEARS don't look for a culprit FIX THE VERIFICATION SYSTEMS.

First person to be arrested is the person who gave the school it's licence to board students.
