He also called on Kenyans to unite in prayer and offer assistance to the families affected by the fire that occurred last Thursday. This comes after the government revealed that at least 17 students are unaccounted for.
In the aftermath of the fire incident at Hillside Endarasha Academy, parents who took their children after the tragedy have been urged to inform the government or the school administration to help identify children whose whereabouts are unknown.
