Gilgil District Public Health have decried the number of unknown bodies being dumped at the mortuary.
This is after they were given a court order to bury ten more unclaimed bodies by the Naivasha Law Coutrs, only a day after they held a mass burial for 16 bodies.
District Public Health Office Gerald Maina raised a red flag over the increase of the unclaimed bodies, saying that they had overstretched the capacity of the district mortuary.
“Ideally the mortuary should cater for twenty four bodies but now there are more than fifty people being attended to in the mortuary,” added Mr maina
He appealed to the relatives of the dead people to help identify the, saying that majority were accident victims of the Gilgil Olkalau Road.
Mr maina added that the huge capacity for the dead bodies was also because they catered for a huge population, saying that people from as far as Olkalau and Soy Sambu Brought their dead to the facility. He also appealed to the Ministry of Health to plan on expanding the facility
