A fire on Wednesday razed a dormitory at Meru School in North Imenti constituency in a suspected arson attack. The cause of the fire is yet to be established but some quarters suggested it was sparked by an electric fault. Nothing was salvaged from the affected dormitory after the county's fire brigade put off the flames. Some locals, however, said they read malice in the frequent unrest at the national school. Two weeks ago, five students of a Meru school were charged with setting a dormitory ablaze on September 1.
