William Ruto spends over KSh 25 billion on travels looking for loans worth KSh 12 billion. Who is fooling whom now?

The Members of Parliament who are tweeting about Ebola just like us are offering no solution.

Table an impeachment motion.

William Ruto is committing an act of treason.

IMPEACH WILLIAM RUTO!

I'd rather be shot protesting on the streets than wait to die of Ebola at home after bleeding from all holes for weeks.

@citizentvkenya So using us as a quarantine facility doesn't expose us? Smh

By the way, this regime is conditioning us to accept the worst. Things that would have caused an uproar in the past are slowly being normalized. That’s how they play with our psychology. One more year and we won’t even remember what right felt like.

I write this with a very heavy heart.

Children are disappearing in this country, and the silence around it is becoming louder than the cries of the grieving parents left behind.

Every day, families wake up hoping their missing child will walk back through the door. Every night, mothers sleep holding photographs instead of their children.

Child protection agencies estimate that nearly 23 children are reported missing or disappear daily. Twenty-three. That is not just a number. Those are school uniforms left hanging behind doors. Those are unfinished homework books. Those are empty seats at dinner tables. Those are voices that will never again shout “Mom, I’m home.”

Yet we rarely see urgent updates, nationwide alerts, or public pressure from the authorities when these children vanish.

But when it comes to harmless social media users, critics, or ordinary citizens expressing themselves online, the response is immediate. Suddenly there is technology, speed, coordination, tracking, and arrests. Safaricom data is accessed. Software is deployed. People are traced within hours.

So Kenyans are left asking painful questions, If you can find someone over a Facebook post or a Twitter reply, why can’t you find the people stealing our children?

If surveillance systems work so efficiently against citizens speaking online, why do they fail when innocent children disappear?

Who is kidnapping our children?

A nation that cannot protect its children is a nation bleeding from the inside.
Parents are now living in fear of ordinary things: A child walking to school. A child going to buy bread. A child playing outside with friends. A child boarding a matatu alone.

We are raising children in a country where “Be home before dark” has slowly turned into “Please come back alive.”

And the most terrifying part is that Some of these children are never found. Some are found violated. Some are found dead.
Some simply vanish as if they never existed.

“How many tiny coffins must be buried before this becomes a national emergency?”

“How did we become a society where parents memorize morgues before they memorize their children’s futures?”

I know speaking like this may make me a target too. Maybe this post will be monitored. Maybe I will be threatened. But silence is becoming another form of burial, and I refuse to bury my conscience while children are being buried in the ground.

The lives of our children matter more than bruised egos, online criticism, or political image management.

We are asking you to treat missing children with the same energy used to hunt down government critics online.

Because somewhere tonight, another mother is waiting at the door for a child who will never come home. And that should disturb every single one of us.

The Utumishi Girls Academy fire happened this morning in Gilgil, 28 years after the one at Bombolulu Girls High School in Mazeras, Coast Region in March 1998 where 26 students died. After the Bombolulu fire, President Moi formed a Commission of Inquiry chaired by Bishop Lawi Imathiu and it submitted its report on 31st July 1998.

The recommendations included

All exit doors in school buildings must open outwards.
Fire extinguishers must be provided and mandatory fire drills conducted for staff and students.
Dormitory capacity must not be exceeded; overcrowding must be legally enforced against.
Teachers' houses must be built so that at least the headteacher lives within the school compound.
Matrons must have minimum qualifications (Form IV and nursing/housekeeping training).
Regular, rigorous school inspections must be conducted as required by the Education Act.
Unqualified tradesmen must not be permitted to carry out electrical installations.
A national Fire Service Act should be enacted.
Students must receive coaching on emergency procedures including fire.
Schools must have adequate, functioning security fencing.

The similarities between the Utumishi incident and the Bombolulu ones are deeply disturbing.

1. Timing — a night fire in a dormitory. Bombolulu burned at night. Utumishi burned at night. Students were asleep, in darkness, in an unfamiliar emergency. This is precisely why fire drills and clear escape routes matter most — and why they are most often neglected.

2. Inward-opening or locked doors. One of the Bombolulu Commission's most urgent recommendations — Recommendation 21 — was that exit doors of school buildings must open outwards. A parent at the scene of the Utumishi fire claimed that one of the emergency exits remained locked during the fire, and that only one matron was on duty, meaning only one of the two emergency doors was opened. A parent told NTV that most of the injuries were caused by students jumping from the upper floor because one of the doors was closed. Twenty-eight years after the Commission made this recommendation in the strongest possible terms, students are still dying at doors.

3. Single matron, inadequate supervision. At Bombolulu, the Commission was scathing that only one under-qualified matron was responsible for the safety of 146 girls at night, with no teachers on site. The Utumishi parent alleged the school had only one matron assigned to the dormitory, arguing that two matrons could have opened both emergency exits simultaneously. The Bombolulu recommendation that matrons hold minimum qualifications and that headteachers live on the school compound appears not to have been implemented.

4. No fire drills, no emergency preparedness. The Bombolulu Commission found that not a single student or teacher had been coached on fire emergency procedures. The speed with which the Utumishi dormitory became fatal — with students jumping from upper floors — suggests students did not know what to do and did not have a practised evacuation route.

5. Overcrowded dormitories. Bombolulu's dormitory held nearly 50% more students than its capacity. No information on Utumishi's occupancy has yet been confirmed, but the number of casualties — 16 dead and over 100 hospitalised from a single dormitory — raises the same question.

6. The national legislative gap. Recommendation 24 of the Bombolulu report called for a national Fire Service Act. Kenya currently does not have a single, overarching national Fire and Rescue Act that governs the entire country. While there are specific legal codes and workplace rules, legislative efforts like the Fire and Rescue Services Professionals Bill and various national disaster management policies have been introduced in parliament but are still uncompleted - Twenty-eight years later.

[Nywele Ngumu @mariahsudi]

At some point as adults in this country we must accept that collectively we don’t care about kids.. a fire is an accident, kids dying because they were locked in isn’t.. that it keeps re-occurring is with no sanctions is insane.
