The County Government of Kisumu is set to dispose of 16 more bodies as it seeks to decongest mortuaries in the county. The move comes after 61 bodies were buried in a mass grave at Mamboleo Public Cemetery on Friday last week.
Last month, health officials in the county obtained a court order to dispose of 212 unclaimed bodies in its strategy to clear the morgues. In a Covid-19 containment strategy, the county authorities had issued a directive that all bodies lying in the mortuary be disposed of.
