The two sisters, Tehilah Wambui and Angel Njeri, both perished after they were unable to reach the balcony as flames tore through the house.
Their bodies were later transferred to the Nairobi Funeral Home, where their father, Kennedy Njao, attended the postmortem examination.
Moreover, their three-year-old sister who was at the balcony at the time of the fire survived the inferno after neighbours helped to get her off the balcony.

Kiambu dad demands answers over his children's death
Njau, visibly distraught, recounted what he says the children's mother told him about the events leading up to the fire.
The two were separated but had been co-parenting, and it was his estranged wife's turn to look after the kids.
"Their mother herself said she locked the children inside the house. She locked them inside and left, expecting that her houshelp would find them as she would return later, perhaps after her day's work. Now she claims she does not know where the fire started," he said.
He explained that he and the children's mother had a shared parenting arrangement, with the girls spending weekends in her care.
Reports also noted that one of the two children had difficulty walking properly, raising further questions about their ability to escape once the fire spread.
Njau is now calling on detectives at Kihara Police Station in Kiambaa to conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths of his daughters.
Speaking with raw grief, the father appealed to anyone with information about how the fire started to come forward and assist investigators.
"Anyone who can help us establish the cause of the fire should come forward. This story should not end like any other story. It should not be treated like any other story. Two innocent lives have been lost," Njao said.
A postmortem examination confirmed that carbon monoxide poisoning was the cause of death for both sisters. Police at Kihara are reportedly investigating the circumstances of the incident, including whether the children were indeed locked inside at the time the fire broke out.
