    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me the chance to talk about the problem of fire in this country. It is not only in Nairobi, but all over the country. We are losing innocent lives because of not being prepared or even thinking of tomorrow. As a House, we should pass a resolution as to what we should do to, at least, assist those innocent souls of this country that have gone missing. You know the case of Nyeri. I also had a problem in my constituency where we lost almost four innocent students because of fire. On going to inspect the dormitory where the children were, we found that it was carelessness of the school management. First and foremost, we should look at it and see what we should do. As somebody was saying, you can imagine a fire in the dormitory and the doors are closed inward rather than outward. Secondly, there were no fire extinguishers in the school. Thirdly, there was no administrator or somebody in-charge in that dormitory. I want to take this opportunity to ask this House that we should have a resolution about the fire problems in all the places, particularly concerning the innocent souls in schools. Therefore, I support that Statement and I have made my point. Before you cut me short, I also want to ask the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) offices in our respective constituencies to go around and check on schools, particularly dormitories where innocent children sleep in and make corrections accordingly, so as to avoid further calamities in our schools. Thank you very much."
