The health body got the permit to bury the bodies from the Naivasha law courts early last month.
Speaking while after overseeing the burying of the bodies on Tuesday night, district public health officer Samuel King’ori called on the Ministry of Health to expand the morgue in the town to ensure a bigger capacity to store more bodies.
He said the number of dead bodies in the morgue increased continuously as people who brought in the dead often gave them falsified information.
King’ori added that in their follow up, they often tried to trace the relatives of the dead in through their phones but were often off.
“Even when we appeal to the relatives to try and trace them but they do not show up,” he added.
The health officer admitted that the mortuary was already overstretched and they needed a bigger morgue.
