Nairobi’s Public Health Chief Officer Tom Nyakaba on Wednesday announced that the city has finally found a lasting solution to its cemetery crisis by acquiring 150 acres of new burial land at Kamiti Prison and Embakasi Garrison.
Nyakaba said the land, which includes 100 acres at Kamiti and 50 at Embakasi, is already being prepared to start receiving burials and will be available to the public soon.
The announcement comes amid rising concerns over the state of Langata Cemetery, which has remained in use despite being declared full over two decades ago.
