The pain, according to the statement, intensified and the coach tried to give first aid by offering him some water, but he declined.

It is then that the school management reached the boy’s parents notifying them of his condition, after it had worsened. The family member says that the school said they would administer panadol.
Here’s the statement:-

The case has been reported to Kilimani Police Station under OB Number 38/3/11/2019 but no action has been taken.
They are also questioning why the Kilimani DCIO Fatuma Hadi plans to submit the case file to Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) requesting for a public inquest, even before recording statements from all persons of interest.
This they say is a ploy to kill the case.
