A class seven pupil drowned on Tuesday in an unfinished swimming pool at a hotel in Suna West sub-county, Migori.
Margaret Njai, 13,
attended
Nyamome Primary School.
Her schoolmates said they were fetching firewood when she ran to the pool and dived in head first.
“She earlier bought a swimming costume in town and wanted to try
it. She had drowned by the time we got there," one said.
Migori OCPD Gladys Rutere said they will take action against the facility's owners.
"It was not fenced off and there was no warning sign. We are investigating claims of negligence,” she said.
The
body was taken to Migori Level Four Hospital mortuary.
