What you need to know:
- The government has faced challenges in accounting for students since some of them had been picked up by their parents and residents living near the school in the aftermath of the tragedy.
- CS Kindiki requested those who had picked pupils from the school following the tragedy to report this to the designated research and rescue command center.
Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has said that the cause of a tragic dormitory fire that killed 17 pupils at Hillside Endarasha Academy in Nyeri County is still unknown.
This comes as senior government officials, including President William Ruto who is in China, ordered a thorough probe into the tragedy and promised that those responsible will be held to account.
