Monday, September 16, 2024 - President William Ruto has promised to look for the proprietor of Hillside Endarasha Academy where a fire tragedy claimed the lives of 21 learners in a bid to see the school resume learning activities.
Speaking at a church service in
Nyeri AIPCA Central Western Archdiocese in Nyeri yesterday, Ruto vowed to hold
a meeting with the owner of Hillside Endarasha Academy soon after
investigations are concluded to deliberate a way forward.
“I will look for Mr. Kinyua, the
owner of the school, to see how we can help,” Ruto stated.
“After investigations are
concluded, we will see how we will be able to help that school so that it
continues providing education to our children.”
At the same time, Ruto donated
Ksh2 million to facilitate the buying of items for those whose things were
burnt in the inferno.
“Those whose property was burnt.
The governor has told me they are about 140. I will send the MP of Kieni with
Ksh2 million to buy things that got burnt for pupils so that our children can
get back to school,” the Head of State directed.
The President also appointed
Kieni MP Wainana Njoroge to spearhead the process of helping affected people
back to their feet.
The Ksh2 million will be used to
buy new boxes, school uniforms, and other items that were burnt during the
night inferno.
