Social media users are mourning Dorcah Mogaka
Photos of the young freshman went viral online, prompting mixed reactions from social media users who struggled to accept the news.
Mwemo Moses Nyae:
“Comrades, just talk to people whenever you are faced with challenges; you can be helped.”
Stellah Okworo:
“Our children, if you think you don’t understand things at the university, or you got the mark to go to the university but you can’t, don’t hurt yourself. Tell your parents I’m not going to the university; let me do a hands-on course and that way you will be able to.”
Jackson Onkanga:
“Maybe the problem is that some parents force their children to go to university, some children also want to be heard as being at university.”
Methy Metrine:
“What’s wrong with Maseno every hour comrades die?”
Esimba Ya Kiamokama Lesson:
“Be very sorry.”
Emmanuel Snr:
“Sad story.”
Higher Education News:
“As painful as this is, we send our condolences to his family and friends. May his soul rest in eternal peace.”
In an interview with TUKO.co.ke, Brenda Wanjiku, a mother from Nairobi who has a son at the University of Nairobi (UoN) urged parents to check on their children regularly.
“They can have conversations over the phone, conversations, family meetings, dinners and many more, including holidays. Our children go through a lot, even those who are at work, married and those who are at home need counseling. You can think that having your child at home makes you know everything about them until you get a letter and they are gone,” he said.
Maseno University student dies before joining
This sad story comes a few days after another tragedy at Maseno University, where another student lost his life.
Joseph Kaiser left his family in Rogongo village, Kisii county, in despair as they struggled to accept the news.
Kaiser was a third year college student at the time of his death and was preparing for his integration in Kisii town.
His family was left with many questions as they wondered why fate had treated them badly, and they wanted to know what happened.
Confusion and grief increased when it was discovered that the boy was not at school when he died in Bosongo town.
Everlyne Oganda, the mother of the deceased, emotionally recounted their last moments, noting that she had spoken to him the day before.

Kaiser had called his mother asking for the school fees, which he did not delay in sending.
Immediately after receiving the money notification from his loving and supportive mother, he called her.
Kaiser told his mother that he was ready to take his final exams as he hoped to start his relationship.
The call ended with Oganda informing his son that he needed to get back to work and that they would talk later, not knowing that it would be the last time they would talk.
