County Chief Officer in the Department of Health Geoffrey Mosiria led a team of officers from the Nairobi City County Government in spearheading the landmark equipment installation of modern and up-to-date storage equipment at the county’s City Mortuary.

City Mortuary, which for years has been disguised as a lowly facility, will now be able to preserve with distinction, the remains of departed loved ones from all walks of life.

According to Mosiria, who dispatched the roles as guided by Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, the morgue has been equipped with modern and up-to-date storage equipment and will henceforth be a guest house to people of all walks of life including from the high end of society and will no longer be despised as a dump site for unclaimed and unidentified bodies.
