Laikipia East MP Mwangi Kiunjuri has once again denied any links to a girl who was arrested and charged with starting a fire that killed 10 others at a dormitory in Moi Girls School Nairobi. In a statement on Sunday, Kiunjuri stated that none of his daughters or relatives attended Moi Girls School Nairobi.

He described as “insensitive and reckless” the individuals sharing information on social media about the 2017 incident. The MP emphasized that these actions were only rekindling the pain of the parents who lost their children in the unfortunate event.

“I wish to make reference to my 2017 statement on the same. Let it be known to all the perpetrators of this reckless, insensitive and inhumane falsehood that I have never had a daughter or a relative at Moi Girls School Nairobi,” Kiunjuri said.

“Unfortunately, some reckless individuals have decided to score whatever points by regurgitating this falsehood without any due consideration to the parents and relatives who lost loved ones in the incident and the fresh wounds they may still have.”

Laikipia East MP Mwangi Kiunjuri insisted that the parents of the suspect are well known. He added that those spreading the information should visit the school to get their facts straight if they care about the truth. Kiunjuri criticized those circulating the reports, suggesting they were trying to score political points and had stooped too low.

He emphasized that humanity and morality should have considered the pain of the parents who lost their children.

“This is too low even for purposes of scoring political points,” he said. “My heart goes out to the parents who lost their children in this unfortunate incident and whose scars are reopened each time in the name of people politicking.”

The girl charged in connection with the fire incident was convicted of manslaughter. Justice Stella Mutuku noted that her behavior portrayed “a child crying for attention.” The prosecution did not prove malice aforethought, so she was not convicted of murder as charged. She was sentenced to five years in prison.
