It is sad to say goodbye to the young souls who lost their lives after a fire broke at the Moi Girls’ dormitory claiming 9 innocent lives – Natalie Nanga, Marcia Okello, Alakirr Malong, Hana Jeysso, Whitney Kerubo, Easter Neema, Hawa Aziz, Nancy Thuju and Mary Njengo who succumbed to the burns.
To celebrate these young souls, a memorial service is being held to celebrate them before their bodies are taken back to their rural homes for burial.
The ceremony attracted the likes of Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko, Deputy President’s wife Racheal Ruto and Nairobi Women rep. Esther Pasaris among others who joined in to be with the parents and students of Moi Girls this afternoon.
Speaking to those who availed themselves Mike Sonko shared words of encouragement by saying;
My heart broke on that fateful morning when I received the news. I was among the first people to arrive to the school….I’m not only here to comfort but to walk with you through all this.
The deputy president’s wife also had a few words to share….she said;
I Stand here very shaken because of what has happened to our school. Today we are sorted here because of our dear daughters that have gone home.
The photos shared from the ceremony are definitely sad but we are standing in prayers of the students who lost their lives as we await for justice to be served.
