The fire and emergency local disaster response unit in Kisii County has been accused of sleeping on their job.
According to some locals, the fire department is not helping them in any way since they have never risen to the occasion whenever they are called upon.
The recent incident at two schools which were blazed by fire last week is a clear indication that the department is in a deep sleep.
Nyamache Boys which is almost 15 Kilometers from the town where the fire engines are situated but still burnt down after it took the fire department a lot of time to arrive at the scene.
According to the Principal of the school Philip Ogechi, the fire engines arrived there after all things were destroyed although they were called in time.
Another person who spoke to the media but sought for anonimity since he works at the county Government of Kisii said that they had received early information about the fire incident at Nyamache and Machongo but they were not quick to respond.
