Nyeri Governor Dr Mutahi Kahiga has called on both the national and county governments to prioritize the wellbeing of Kenyan morticians. Speaking at the 5th annual Morticians and Allied Professionals Association of Kenya (MAPAKe) conference in Nyeri, the Governor highlighted the deeply traumatizing conditions under which these professionals operate. He emphasized the need for increased support and resources to address the unique challenges faced by those working in funeral homes across Kenya. Dr Kahiga’s address underscores the often-overlooked mental and emotional toll experienced by morticians and allied professionals. The Governor believes greater attention to their welfare is crucial, given the essential services they provide to communities throughout the country. This call to action aims to improve working conditions and offer better support systems for these vital, yet often unseen, workers in Nyeri and beyond.
