Solomon Njoroge, 14, is supposed to be in school like other pupils who are in the final days of the second term.
But today, Njoroge, who has grown up without a mother, is now confined to a bed at the Kenyatta National Hospital after being shot on Saba Saba Day while playing football in Tigoni, Kiambu County.
He has been in the hospital since July 10.
His father, John Mungai, is a hawker in Limuru and has not visited him for three days since he must go out to sell some wares so as to put food on the table. "The last time I saw him was last week, but some relatives have been going to see him," Mungai, who lost his wife to an electricity accident, told The Standard. "I was told he was taken for surgery, but the details are not clear.
