Great innovation, thanks Bree , fires need to be investigated not only in Kenya but in Uganda as well and yes it seems to be a systemic issue.
Thank you Dan T! I agree, it’s far deeper than what we see. Stay tuned.
Would have been nice to hear a little more about the preliminary report, also a little more about the old school fires and what caused them. I know some research was done into them. I could read it but that’s why I listen to your podcast
