KENYA: Kwale residents have rejected a move by an investor to establish a crematory.

The investor George Barbour, a Kenyan of British origin and who owns Ali Barbour and Forty Thieves restaurant in Diani, Kwale County, has already constructed the crematorium, but it lies dormant due to opposition from Mwakamba and Mivumoni residents.
