Property worth millions of shillings has been gutted down by fire in Kabarnet town, Baringo County. The fire broke out in one of the buildings near Sorowo and Garissa hotel a few minutes past 7 pm. The cause of the fire was not immediately ascertained although traders claimed that it might have been caused by an electric fault. Residents blamed the county government for laxity as no fire engine arrived to fight the fire. “Where is the fire brigade team to put off the fire and at least rescue some of our belongings,” a trader was heard crying.
