A mega Crematorium will be set up at the Langata cemetery, Nairobi to ease pressure on the filled burial site. The Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) has set aside Sh45m for the crematorium.

The Major General Mohammed Badi-led institution, which runs the health docket, has included this as part of its budget in the current 2021/2022 financial year. This is contained in the Nairobi County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP), which was recently approved by the Assembly.
