No, we are not haunted by evil spirits - says Homa Bay mortician

Some people refer to us as social outcasts but our occupation is like any other job. These are the words of Fred Olela, the mortician in charge of the Homa Bay County Referral Hospital mortuary.

There is a perception that morticians are people who are haunted by evil spirits. In some communities, people assign discriminatory names to them. In the Luo community, they are referred to as Onyango Otoyo.
