[Photo| Courtesy]Devolution and Planning Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri, has dismissed social media reports that, a girl who allegedly started fire at Nairobi's Moi Girls' School, is his daughter.The fire led to death of upto 10 innocent souls, injuring several others, early this month.Below is Kiunjuri's statement, Saturday."I have been aware of this totally false, ill-intentioned and hurtful rumour that the girl who is alleged to have burnt the Moi Girls dormitory is my daughter. She is not.I have never had a daughter in that school. It is cruel to the families that lost loved ones to create these kinds of unfounded rumours when their wounds are still this raw. It is hurtful too for the family whose daughter is now being called my daughter.Let it be known that she's not my daughter.The cowardly anonymous originator of this rumour should apologise to the affected families and desist from publishing this or any other unfounded malicious stories.May the girls who lost their lives rest in perfect peace."
