The two were rushed to Kiambu Hospital, given first aid, and on October 28, they were transferred to Kenyatta Hospital.

“On November 7, the young girl died, exactly 10 days after the incident; she had inhaled a lot of gas that was leaking. Initially, we did not tell the girl’s mother because we were afraid that her blood pressure would go up, but we have since told the ailing woman,” she said.

“By the time we were leaving the hospital, she needed a lot of care because her blood pressure had gone up,” she said.

Cecilia said that the woman is still in the hospital under the care of her sister. The sisters do not have parents, and their relatives are allegedly hostile to them.

How much has Kiambu family raised?

“The bill is too high, and as friends, we have managed to raise small amounts, which total less than KSh 30,000. The daughter is in the mortuary while her mother is still recovering in the same hospital,” explained Cecilia.
