A family from Mogonga village at Bombaba ward in Kisii County is appealing to the government to assist them get their daughter who went missing.
Marion Mogoi, Grade 7 pupil at Omobondo Primary School was sent home by her teachers to collect personal effects but when she picked the items from home, she never returned to school.
When her mother made a follow up to school, she was greeted with a rude shock as the daughter was missing.
“The watchman locked me outside the school compound lying that the head teacher was not at school to attend me,” she said.
The girl’s mother told Education News that after insisting to see the head teacher who was trying to dodge her for unknown reasons, he finally talked to her and told her not to expose the matter to the media but remain hopeful and the child will be found.
It was at that time when she took up the matter to Nyamache Sub-county education office but she was not able to meet the Sub County Director of Education for help.
She reported that when her daughter left home a week ago, she was wearing a red t-shirt and black jeans trouser and she had a black bag.
She appealed to anyone with information about the whereabouts of her daughter to report to any nearby police station or call her father Julius Mogoi of Mogonga village near Mogonga Market in Kenyenya Sub-county.
