Fears as girl in school protests faints twice

Lucy Njeri, a pupil at Lang’ata Road Primary School when she was rescued by a Good Samaritan on January 19, 2015.

The Lang’ata Road Primary School pupil who was hospitalised following Monday’s protests over land grabbing at the school has fainted twice since she was discharged on Wednesday.


Lucy Njeri, 13, was admitted at Lang’ata Hospital after she collapsed on a nearby footbridge after being engulfed in tear gas.


Her mother Agnes Wanjiru on Thursday said Lucy lost consciousness on the way to their Ongata Rongai home after she left hospital.


“She fainted for about 45 minutes and today (yesterday), she collapsed again in the house for 30 minutes. I am worried,” said Ms Wanjiru.


“I took her to a nearby dispensary, she was given first aid and painkillers. We were advised to go for further tests,” she told the Nation.


“They checked the X-Ray report and said Lucy’s chest does not look good.”


“Where is the government now? My child was injured over something the government could have prevented.”


On Wednesday, Ms Wanjiru expressed concern over the health of her daughter.


She said: “The doctors say her chest has smoke and it will clear over time, but she (Lucy) says she feels dizzy and complains of chest pains. She cries when she remembers what happened. What do I do when this persists?”


The doctor’s diagnosis was ‘chest irritation due to tear gas’, according to the discharge summary, while the clinical summary stated: ‘chest pain’. The doctor prescribed painkillers and psychological therapy.
