The Government will use Shs 70 million to rebuild houses, which were destroyed by Langata fire that broke out on Sunday night killing four people, Deputy President William Ruto has said.
Mr. Ruto while touring the Kijijini area, bordering Southlands in Langata following the inferno regretted that property worth millions of shillings had been destroyed.
He assured the affected families that the Government would help them to rebuild their houses so that they can continue with their lives.
The Deputy President who was accompanied by Langata MP Nixon Korir said the fire could not be contained last night because of lack of water and lack of access road to the affected areas.
“The Department of Special Programmes and the Provincial Administration will be given Shs 70 million to begin the process of rebuilding the houses as soon as possible,” said Mr. Ruto.
