Police Chief Douglas Kanja says they're almost done looking into what caused the deadly Endarasha school fire. He told reporters at Endarasha police station Wednesday that investigators will reveal their findings soon. The September fire killed 21 boys when flames tore through their dormitory. Most died immediately, and others suffered serious burns.
The public prosecutor ordered Kanja to investigate thoroughly whether negligence played a role. Some early reports blamed electrical problems for starting the blaze near the main entrance before spreading throughout the building, which housed 156 boys that night. Kenya Power Company officials denied this possibility completely. Their manager, Duncan Machuka, claimed that all electrical systems worked perfectly during the incident.
Criminal investigators deployed forensic teams after the power company's statement. The DCI announced that they brought in fire safety experts to determine exactly what happened. Their director, Abraham Mugambi, promised a comprehensive investigation with help from various specialists. Parents continue waiting for answers about why their children died in a tragedy that shocked the entire nation.
