Governo anuncia indenização de 200 mil xelins quenianos para vítimas do incêndio na Utumishi Girls Academy

O governo do Quênia fornecerá 200 mil xelins quenianos para cada família das 16 estudantes mortas no incêndio do dormitório da Utumishi Girls Academy e cobrirá as despesas médicas das alunas feridas.

O porta-voz do governo, Isaac Mwaura, anunciou as medidas no sábado. O pacote também inclui apoio à família de um pai que morreu em um acidente de carro a caminho da escola e a cobertura total das despesas funerárias. Mwaura afirmou que o governo permanece comprometido com as promessas anteriores, apesar das notícias da mídia que sugerem o contrário. Todos os compromissos estão passando por processos administrativos e jurídicos. O incêndio ocorreu em 28 de maio, quando alunas atearam fogo a um dormitório. Testes de DNA identificaram os corpos das vítimas, e os suspeitos permanecem sob custódia enquanto as investigações continuam. As alunas feridas foram levadas de avião para o Kenyatta National Hospital para tratamento.
