Unknown people break into a mortuary in Baringo, steal body trays
Residents of Baringo South and its environs have to wait longer for mortuary services after unknown people broke into a mortuary at Marigat and stole body trays and power cables.
The only mortuary in Baringo South which was to cater for Tiaty and Baringo South, Unknown people broke into and those who lost loved ones were forced to seek services in either Kabarnet, Ravine or Nakuru.
The mortuary which was constructed by the Baringo County government was aimed at bringing services closer to the people.
According to the public health officer at Marigat Sub County hospital, the high demand of scrap metal in the town has made idle youths in nearby areas engage in scrap metal business.
Meanwhile, elders condemned the incident, saying it is taboo to invade a mortuary which was meant to ease the burden, and urged the Government to consider banning the trade of scrap metals.
Marigat mortuary has since stalled as the county seek funds to run it, meanwhile residents in the area have to incur more cost in preserving their loved ones.
