Kitui senator Enoch Wambua has called for thorough investigations into an inferno that razed down a section of Kitui County Government offices on Sunday.
Wambua says the inferno which took the Kitui County fire brigade hours to put out was suspicious.
He wondered how the county fire department took long to put off the fire that razed down key documents and property worth millions of shillings.
"The investigators must not leave any stone untouched as they probe into the mysterious inferno," Wambua told journalists in Kitui Town on Monday.
The Wiper senator alleged that key documents relating to some controversial projects in the county were razed down in the fire.
Wambua questioned Governor Charity Ngilu's government disaster management's preparedness.
"Governor Ngilu should explain why fire fighters took too long to put out the fire that started at midnight only to be contained four hours later," he said.
Wambua said there is need for the county to review it's disaster management policies and procedures.
On Sunday, Ngilu suspected foul play in the inferno, urging the police to speed up investigations.
Ngilu said the county was finalizing on a Disaster Management Bill that would be tabled in the county assembly soon.
Property worth millions was reduced to ashes when fire broke out at the former Tourism building in Kitui Town.
The building housed several county offices among them ministry of Tourism, Natural Resources and Sports.
Detectives are still probing the cause of the inferno and are expected to give a detailed report later this week.
