As a father of three daughters, an upholder of the law, and a concerned citizen, I'm really disturbed by the recent killings in short-stay accommodations.

The deaths of Starlet Wahu, Rita Waeni and Joan Mbula Nzomo are most saddening. I commend the government for acting swiftly by making laws to regulate short-stay homes.
