Uasin Gishu County Assembly Speaker Isaac Terer has asked the
National Intelligence Service (NIS) to investigate the growing number of
school fires across the country.
“The NIS should tell Kenyans
what they are doing to unearth the real cause of the students burning
down their schools? They have been mandated to investigate and therefore
they need to do their job properly,” Terer said.
Furthermore he
pointed out that the children in these schools are copying what their
leaders are doing when there is a disagreement within their ranks.
“We
the politicians have always resorted to mass action and burning of
tires on the streets whenever we disagree with each other. Our children
are copying us and doing the same,” Terer added.
Moreover, the
County Assembly Committee on Education Daniel Sanga pointed out laxity
in the security apparatus whom he blamed for not preventing the rampart
arsons in the schools.
Sanga decried that a lot of property worthy of millions that took ages to set up all goes into flames within minutes.
“The
investments our parents put in many years past to build these schools
is being destroyed by our children. These children are behaving as if
there is no government or rule of law in this country,” Sanga said.
113 schools have been burnt so far.
