She died on the spot as a bullet hit her on the chest ending her good time with her friends whom she played with at the third floor balcony of their rented one room home.
Her father, Wycliffe Mokaya is a groceries vender at Mathare 2 area. When he spoke to the media, in utter shock, he could not believe why the police had resolved to use live bullets while tackling the protests.
Hell broke loose in the area the moment IEBC declared Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto president and deputy president elect after Kenya held elections on Tuesday 8, August.
For Mr Mokaya, he says the only help he now needs is aid to transport the body of her daughter to Kisii for burial.
