Nairobi Woman Rep Esther Passaris has assured families of victims of the Precious Talents Top School that she will stand with them as they come to terms with the deadly tragedy that struck the school.

Is there a story unfolding in your community? Let Hivisasa know

8 pupils lost their lives and dozens more were injured as a building caved in at the private school. 

In a tweet, Friday, Passaris prayed that the parents who lost their children will find the strength to accept what has befell them.

"To the Precious Talent School community. You are not alone. I will continue to walk with you. To the parents of the Little Talents, now Little Angels, I pray for God's understanding and healing in your journey towards acceptance of that which will take a life time to comprehend," read the tweet.

The Woman Rep accompanied Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Odinga to a memorial service held in honour of the pupils who lost their lives.

The tragedy left the Kenyan public reeling with shock as the Ministry of Education launched a crackdown on substandard structures, a crackdown that critics have described as knee-jerk.

Education CS Prof George Magoha has ordered the closure of schools that do not meet the safety standards of operation set out by the Ministry of Education.
