“People should not commit suicide because of KCPE or KCSE… no, not at all; life has good things to offer. Always give people time to heal,” she advised.
Kalumu who scored 396 marks in last year’s KCPE had admission letters from Machakos Girls and Chogoria Girls in Embu and had threatened to kill herself if her family failed to fundraise for her secondary education.
On Wednesday, her 37-year-old mother, Esther Ndanu kioko committed suicide by hanging self on a tree, leaving a suicide note that said: “I regret I cannot raise money to take my daughter to secondary school.”
Her body was picked by police and taken to Kitui Level 4 hospital mortuary.
