Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, Martha Wanjiru, mother of the deceased, said Ebbie who had complained of being unwell failed to wake up on Saturday, March 9.
She said her school mates tried to wake her up that fateful day only to notice she was unconscious.
"At 8:45am, the school called and told me that my daughter was unwell and urged me to rush to Naindu hospital in Thika.
"On arrival, I found my daughter dead, the hospital said the girl had died before arriving and seemed the school was just covering up" said Muthoni
She accused the school management of negligence that resulted to the death of her daughter.

The principal could not be reached for comment.
