Girls spend night in the cold after dormitory burns down

About 233 students of St Mary Magdalene Thingingi Girls High School in Embu North had to spend their night in cold after an inferno razed down their dormitory

The incident occurred at around 9am after the students had left the dormitory for classes while others were at the dining hall for entertainment.

According to Kagaari North Ward Administrator Michael Mugendi Njeru, an electric fault in one of the dormitory cubicles ignited the fire, which quickly spread to the entire dormitory.

Njeru added that the student’s efforts of putting the off fire were not effective as nothing was salvaged.

The school’s administration, in conjunction with education stakeholders, will be meeting from next week to come up with a plan of raising funds to construct another dormitory
