DAR ES SALAAM, Sept. 15 Tanzania school owner arrested – Police in Tanzania have arrested the owner of a school where 10 pupils died in a dormitory fire on Monday.

Seven other pupils were also injured during the fire and have been admitted to hospital in the north-western Kagera region.

Tanzania’s Inspector General of Police, Simon Sirro, told reporters that investigations were ongoing to determine the cause of the fire at Byamungu English Medium Primary School.

He said that preliminary findings indicated the dormitory was not built to proper standards.

“The electrical wiring of the school buildings is very poor. I wonder how relevant authorities allowed this school to operate,” said Sirro.

At least 10 pupils were killed and seven others injured on Sunday night after a fire burnt a dormitory to ashes at the primary school for boys in Kyerwa district.

“The 10 victims were burnt beyond recognition and three of the seven injured pupils are in critical condition,” Marco Gaguti, Kagera regional commissioner, told Xinhua when reached by phone on Monday.

The police chief said four of the seven injured pupils were in critical condition, adding that they were transferred to Bugando referral hospital in Mwanza region for specialized treatment.

The police chief said the electrical wiring in the dormitory was faulty, and the entire building crumbled when the roof collapsed – an indication that the building materials used were substandard.

Local authorities have been asked to investigate education inspectors who allowed the school to house the pupils in the dormitory.

School fire tragedies are frequent in the region and there are calls for enhanced safety in institutions.
