Washukiwa wafichua sababu za moto wa bweni la Utumishi

Washukiwa saba walio kizuizini wameeleza nia yao ya kuchoma bweni la Utumishi Girls Academy, tukio lililosababisha vifo vya wanafunzi 16.

Ripoti za awali zinaonyesha kuwa uamuzi wa shule kuhamisha tarehe za mitihani kutoka Juni 16 hadi Juni 2 ulisababisha kutoridhika miongoni mwa wanafunzi wa kidato cha nne.

Wanafunzi walikasirishwa pia na maelekezo ya kuchangia gharama za tukio la kitamaduni ambalo hapo awali lilifadhiliwa na shule. Walikubali pia kuwa walitaka kujiunga na mwelekeo wa migomo iliyotokea wiki mbili zilizopita.

Waziri wa Mambo ya Ndani Kipchumba Murkomen ameamuru shule zote ziweke kamera za CCTV. Waziri wa Elimu Julius Ogamba ameamuru ukaguzi wa shule za bweni uanze ndani ya siku 10.

Seneta John Methu ameitaka serikali kuwajibika na kumtaka Murkomen na Ogamba wajiuzulu kutokana na jinsi walivyoshughulikia tukio hilo.
