Laboratories Worth Sh 5 Million Destroyed by Fire at Moi Girls High School Eldoret
Two laboratories worth Sh 5 Million of Moi Girls High School Eldoret have been destroyed by a fire inferno that occurred on Thursday night.
According to Ainabkoi Police Commander Leonard Muhanda Matete said the cause of the fire was an electric fault.
“Yesterday at around 11pm at night I was called by the principal Moi Girls High Eldoret Madam Juliana Kirui that that there was fire outbreak and that the school had tried to put it off but in vain,” said the Ainabkoi police commander.
Matete said that the chemistry, Physics, and Biology laboratories were razed down to ashes and nothing was saved.
“We called the fire brigade from the County Government of Uasin Gishu County who reached on time and helped us to put off the fire which was spreading to other buildings. It took them three hours to put off the fire,” Matete said while speaking to the press.
“The cost of the damage is estimated at Sh 5 million and so far nothing was saved. We have also started thorough investigations to determine the real cause of the fire inferno and after investigations are over we will tell you what really happened,” he added,
He further assured parents that their children are safe and no student whatsoever was injured during the fire incident.
“It’s only the building that was destroyed and I want to urge parents to stay calm since no students were injured and that they are in safe hands therefore no cause for alarm. The position of the school will be communicated later after the Board of Management meets,” he said.
Moi Girls High School Eldoret which is a National School is among the best performing schools in the region.
