Tragic Hillside Endarasha Academy Fire: What We Know 1. The dormitory was made of half concrete, half wood. 2. One of the emergency doors was locked from the outside. 3. The watchman who guards the boys at night was allegedly nowhere to be seen. 4. The death toll in the Hillside Endarasha Academy fire has risen to 21; two pupils died while receiving treatment, and 19 bodies were recovered from the scene. 5. 17 learners are yet to be accounted for. #WeekendPrime @dennisaseto @TheJesseRogers

Jeremiah Kioni: We did not have Uhuru Kenyatta as the leader of the Haki coalition, but he will be above those of us who will be in active politics, those of us who believe in the cultural formations of the community. We agreed to too many things that involved the former president. In the Mount Kenya region, we have agreed to come under an umbrella; all the political parties will be under one umbrella led b Uhuru Kenyatta. #Insidepolitics @TheJesseRogers

What the State visit means to Kenyans- Josephine Ojiambo. #Insidepolitics @TheJesseRogers

Alutalala Mukhwana: The Americans have identified Kenya as a key pillar in the geo-political configuration as far as the global plate tectonics are concerned and so Yes, Kenya is useful to the Americans. Its not for nothing that our president has been accorded that very high accolade of paying the state visit to the United Sates right up to taking his seat in the oval office. #Insidepolitics @TheJesseRogers

Mark Bichachi:When you are looking across the Indian Ocean, the only country that you can land in and then be able to project your power and influence is Kenya. In many regards, the United States is recognizing and realizing both the strategic importance of Kenya that has been bestowed upon us by nature of where we are, but also the kind of people and capacity that we have. #Insidepolitics @TheJesseRogers

Mark Bichachi: The truth is, the East and West are in competition. We happen to be in the middle, and our job is to take our pound of flesh. Our job is, when America comes and is willing to give us a billion dollars, we take it as long as we are not going to be slaves to them. I have not read anywhere that we are going to be slaves. #Insidepolitics @TheJesseRogers

Zack Kinuthia: If you read the law, the National Police Service Act, you can't send police out, and that's why, when this was well elaborated in court, President Ruto came together and brought some form of hurried agreement between him and the Prime Minister of Haiti so that they can formalize it. Yet, it does not defeat the standing of the law #Insidepolitics @TheJesseRogers

Josephine Ojiambo:We will deploy 1,000 police officers to Haiti, but we know back home there has been a lot of human cry about Baringo. The head of state was clear that he has set 3,000 troops and 2,000 more will be deployed shortly. So, he has actually given five times more presence to Baringo than we have to Haiti. #Insidepolitics @TheJesseRogers
