I visited the 2,300 victims on Monday, 7th September, 2009 and found the situation appalling. Following this, the Government has decided to establish Fire Disaster Fund. The Fund will be launched on Friday, 11th September, 2009, at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) at 10.00 a.m. by His Excellency the President and myself. I do appeal to hon. Members and other well wishers to attend the launch and also to contribute towards this very worthy cause."
