He added that the incident will not prompt him to transfer his son to another school, as accidents can occur anywhere.
"So, in my opinion, my son will keep attending school," Kung'u said.
He also urged parents who lost their children to continue trusting in God, as He will provide strength during these difficult times.
Kung'u also described how he learned about the fire incident at the school where his son is enrolled.
He said he was in Thika when he received a call informing him of the tragedy.
"I left Thika immediately and rushed to Hillside. I am happy that my son is okay and that he rescued other students from the fire. I am labelling him a hero. I am so happy," Kung'u added.
This comes after a grieving mother at Endarasha Academy, overwhelmed with sorrow, rejected a food offer, expressing her despair over the search for her missing child.
Her emotional breakdown, as she covered her face, prompted other parents seated behind her to join in the collective mourning.
This happened after an unidentified group attempted to offer food to the distraught parents.
