Shock hit Waitaluk ward as body of grade six pupil in Mogoiywet primary school in Kiminini Constituency in Trans Nzoia County was found in school ceiling rotting away in one of the classrooms.
According to reports, the female pupil went missing two months ago just a few days after completing her Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) examinations without a trace.
However, a parent revealed that the incident has left them in shock and the body was discovered after re opening when the pupils could not stomach the smell in the one of the Early Childhood Education development classroom.

“We are reeling in shock because of this unfortunate incident. Actually, the girl went missing in November last year after finishing her grade 6 assessment and she was set to join grade seven only to be found dead in the ceiling of one classroom.”
Confirming the incident, the school headteacher, Douglas Amadi said that the school was closed after a consultation between the school management, the Ministry of Education and the African Inland Church (AIC) the school’s sponsor.
” Yes it is true we have closed the school until Monday next week following stakeholder’s consultations that resolved to close the school to pave the way for investigations.”
The school is however planning a guidance and counselling for the 632 pupils in the school starting on Monday next week, in a bid to save them from emotional distress they are going through.
