A nursery schoold kid died as her friends sustained injuries after their classroom collapsed Monday afternoon during a heavy downpour.
The incident occurred in Homa Bay county where residents said the children were in the classroom after a heavy down pour that blocked them from going home.
The five-year-old girl, identified as Scovia Achieng of Nyachar ECDE center, died while receiving medication at Rangwe sub-county hospital.
Angry parents have called on the county government to address the sorry state of ECDE classrooms in the county.
Area MP Lilian Gogo hit out at the county government over the poor state of nursery schools yet it is a devolved function.
“ECDE centres in Rangwe Constituency are in pathetic conditions. This kind of a disaster may occur in other centers,” She said.
