Cardinal Otunga Mosocho High School in Kisii was engulfed in a mysterious fire shortly after the release of the 2024 KCSE examinations.
According to insider who sought anonymity for security reasons, the fire broke out in one of the dormitories as the staff led by Principal keenly downloaded the school’s results from the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) portal.
“We all saw smoke and rushed to the affected dormitories,” he said.
Firefighters from Kisii County government responded immediately.

When Education News contacted the Senior Puncipal Ezekiel Okey, he declined to comment saying that he had reported the matter to the police.
He said there were no causalities during the incident.
Efforts to reach Kisii County Director for Education Philip Chirchir were not fruitful.
Parents who spoke to Education News appealed to the police to conduct quick investigation and reveal anyone who might be involved to face the law.
