Bridge Academies says it is cooperating with the police on investigations regarding an alleged death by electrocution of a pupil at one its schools in Mukuru Kwa Njenga in Nairobi.
The police opened an investigation into the case and visited the site of the accident the same day,” said the school in a statement to the Business Daily.
“Bridge and the wider community are supporting police investigation and while nothing will bring back this child, we hope that those responsible for the illegal electricity connection will be held accountable.”
On Wednesday, Business Daily reported that World Bank’s investigative body, Compliance Adviser/Ombudsman (CAO), will investigate the alleged death by electrocution.
