What did Madam Caroline say?
Madam Caroline told journalists that a teacher identified as Madam Abigael noticed that some kids were outside, and she asked them to stand in front of the class and started questioning them; before she even reached the boy, he had already collapsed.
“The death was pronounced in school at 10:10 am,” she said.
“This is a sad situation that befell the school, and we are sorry for the loss and the family for whatever happened in the school,” she said.
The teacher took him to the nurse, but she was not there, and at the time, the deputy headteacher realised the boy was gasping for breath. Abigael rushed to notify Caroline.
“I took my vehicle and drove off, and we started acting; we called the father and mother, but the father wasn’t picking up, so we went look for the father. He is the one who supplies the school with sukumawiki. Before the doctor started to do what they wanted to do, they asked us to go get the OB with the father and mother, and they started questioning them and that is how it got 12pm,” said Caroline.
According to the pathologist, Moses died as a result of poor circulation of blood in his body. According to the doctor, the condition can be caused by extreme fear or a sudden change in the heart’s rhythm.
“We would not have wanted to hurt that child,” said Caroline.

“Being a teacher is too risky. Imagine taking care of over 200 kids for almost 8 months every year and you are expected to bring them back home safely every day. Hata nyumbani accidents do happen. Hii inataka tu Mungu.”
