What caused the chaos at Moi School?
It is said that the school tried to admit Moses Nyang’au to the Nakuru Regional General Hospital, but the center refused, saying that the boy had already died.
The angry parents returned the body to the school to get answers about the circumstances that led to his sudden death.
According to the videos circulating on the internet, when the parents arrived at the school, the staff closed the reception building, forcing some of them to wail while running in the school.
They did protest claiming that the boy’s parents were not immediately informed about the situation.
Police officers struggled to control the reported mob before taking the body back to the hospital’s mortuary. The incident has raised concerns about the increase in school deaths.
Some Kenyans condemned the death while also raising issues about the trauma to the students who watched the incident.

Peter Njora “You can imagine the trauma, being called by the school to see your child, cold in the morgue.”
Robert Rober “Psychologically, students will be affected. Close schools temporarily.”
Catherine Munyao “How did they find the body? And they are taking it back to the morgue? This is traumatizing.”
Joyce Kigen “I am saddened by the loss of a beloved child. We mothers feel a lot of pain, however, may the Lord comfort the family at this time.”
Maina Wa Kinyua “My dear country, losing a life is very scary and hurts close family members. But we also expect our teachers to carry all our responsibilities, even where we clearly fail if parents or God’s will wins.”
Min Afrika “I get frustrated, but this adds more trauma to the students and parents of the deceased.”
Ann Wambui Thuku “It’s close to the mortuary but at least you should have looked for a car, I have never heard of anything wrong with that school. What has happened?”
