Recently, there has been a series of fires in Illasit that has caused loss of lots of property and that has paralyzed potential businesses that have had good financial roots before.
The series of fires successfully followed one another as if mathematically, a topic study in the sequences and series. It was so amazing and shocking for the residents of Illasit that these were not just normal fires but infernos that engulfed large sizes of plots and as sources say, when they called for help, no one came to their rescue.
Some say it is actually the county council plan to enforce forceful development in the area as the plots in Illasit are as old as 30 -40 years and the town being on a junction it is doomed for any development. It is also rumored that the council also gave an order to all plot owners who want to reconstruct their plots not to reconstruct using timber.
It is so funny that the whole of Loitokitok County has got no fire brigade to handle issues like this in case of raging fires. It is also so funny that there are no standby ambulances that can rush to the site and save lives in case of accidents in fire. Is it funding that we do not have or is it poor leadership? It is time that the leaders of Oloitokitok relate with the people that put them to power and address to their needs. It was also funny that this tragedy was not aired anywhere on the media. It was also weird that no services like the Kenya Red Cross came to the rescue of the suffering women and children in the region. Are we marginalized or no one really cares?
