"I have just received information that boys dormitory of St Thomas Aquinas Igumori Secondary School has been set on fire. The dormitory was built by Mbeere South NGCDF at a cost of 7 million which I was to commission within the next few days. I want to condemn with the strongest terms possible the burning of the dormitory and school property. I urge the school administration, NGAO and ministry of education to do a thorough investigation to bring to book the criminals of this awful act," he stated.
We further urge the ministry to come up with deterrent measures to ensure that this action is not repeated elsewhere in other schools.
"Other School administration should have meetings to know the moods in our schools to avert similar destruction in other Schools in Mbeere South constituency," the MP wrote on his Facebook account.
The cause of the fire is yet to be established.
Efforts to reach the school's principal and the area administration were futile.
