Kenyan schools are becoming a dead end for students and pupils. Just the other day, 8 pupils were killed when a weak ironsheet and poorly made storey classes collapsed on young souls.

And before we even lay to rest the lost youngs souls, Starehe girls students have been recorded by an  anonymous source coughing in pain in their dormitory.

This morning a twitter user Abraham Mutai has shared a video of Starehe girls students seen coughing uncontrollably with some of them in grim of the atrocious conditions their mates are in.

A seriously contagious disease has descended in Starehe Girls high school. Students coughing uncontrollably like monkeys. Ministry of Health @MOH_Kenya is yet to issue a statement. Are you aware of this or you are hearing from me right here? pic.twitter.com/BUxPEQsagO

The video has since attracted massive reactions from Twitter users some who allege to be parents ststing that the school had sent them messages concerning the epidemic in the school that stated different from what the video showed.

@StareheGirls Kindly a concerned parent. I know you sent us a text message and I am grateful but seeing this clip here makes me more concerned. https://t.co/SoGcCYOa2p
