If no one knows the cause of her death then what was the protest about?

From the Guardian article that this post links to:

Weeks after Chebii’s death, members of the Kenyan diaspora staged a protest outside the hotel where she died, calling for answers and transparency about what had occurred.

...

“The circumstances surrounding her death, together with the time it has taken to receive substantive updates from the relevant authorities, have left many community members with questions and concerns.”

From an article linked in the body of the previous post:

The march, which proceeded to Meriton, was described by organizers as peaceful, respectful, and well coordinated. Community members turned out in solidarity with Chebii's family, calling for transparency and answers regarding the circumstances surrounding her death.
