The Monday, September 23 tragedy, where a two-storey building at Precious Talents School in Ng’ando area collapsed, left many parents in distress.
One such parent, Mildred Naliaka, narrated the harrowing experience after she found out that her seven-year-old daughter, Whitney Wekesa, had died.
The Standard reported that her daughter threw quite a tantrum before she went to school that morning.
The distressed mother recalled that her daughter refused to have breakfast, and returned home a few minutes after going to school.
"She came back and asked me to give her money for snacks. I told her I didn't have money and persuaded her to go back to school," Naliaka disclosed.
Finally, Ms Naliaka managed to convince Whitney to go back to school.
After she left, the mother decided to lay down but after a few minutes, she heard a commotion from the neighbours.
On inquiring, Ms Naliaka found out that her daughter's school, which was a walking distance away, had collapsed.
It is at that point that she rushed to the school, hoping to rescue her daughter.
However, on reaching the institution, she found the lifeless body of her daughter at the scene of the incident.
"I fought to take her body and leave with it, but they restrained me and refused," she told the publication.
