Nairobi, Kenya: Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero’s visit to Nairobi City Mortuary and subsequent decree for a name-change opened the floodgate of memories. Whereas I believe there are more serious issues to concern ourselves with, other than whether we should call it a funeral home or a mortuary, I still hold that the visit was important for Dr Kidero.
This is with the hope that he will make the place cleaner, the mortuary attendants less corrupt, and more professional, and yes… if he can relocate the morgue sandwiched between leafy estates and one of our most prestigious medical schools and teaching and referral hospital.
