00:01At least 16 children have been killed and dozens injured
00:05after a fire ripped through a girls dormitory at a school in Kenya.
00:09Distraught parents were being held outside the school buildings by authorities
00:13as investigators raced to identify the victims.
00:20We realized that the message was all over the country
00:22and we thought it was only fair to confirm that 16 persons have seized the past one.
00:29But then this creates also another problem for us,
00:32which is the anxiety of my parents trying to know who has lost their loved ones.
00:39The school is linked to the National Police Service
00:42and therefore most pupils of the school are the children of officers.
00:46The cause of the fire is not yet known.
