The Kapsabet Boys High School community is mourning the death of one of its students, whose life was cut short after a battle with a rare medical condition.
Kelvin Kipkosgei, a Form Three student from Chesumei Constituency in Nandi County, died after battling fibrous dysplasia of the jaw.
Kipkosgei’s demise has left his classmates, teachers and other members of the school fraternity heartbroken.
