The Nairobi County government has issued a seven-day notice for the collection of 236 unclaimed bodies, warning that they will be disposed of if not claimed.
In a public notice, the county urged families to visit the designated facilities to identify and collect the bodies before the deadline expires.
According to the county, 218 bodies are at the Nairobi City Mortuary, while 18 are at Mama Lucy Kibaki Funeral Home.
“Pursuant to the Public Health Act Cap 242, interested members are asked to identify and collect the bodies within seven days, failure to which Nairobi City County will seek authority for disposal,” the notice stated.
The unclaimed bodies are linked to various causes of death, including accidents, suicide, mob justice, drowning, shooting incidents, homicide, and natural causes.
