Postmortem Delay Fuels Outrage in Kenya

Postmortem Delay Sparks Outrage in Kenya A delay in the postmortem of Albert Omondi Ojwag has ignited a firestorm of controversy in Kenya. Activist Boniface Ogolla voiced his anger at the delay, which occurred at the City Mortuary. The postmortem, originally scheduled for 8 AM, was postponed until later in the day due to the pathologist's late arrival. Ogolla stated, "The doctor arrived late, saying she was performing other postmortems and was tired." He expressed deep disappointment, adding, "These reasons were invalid. The father of the deceased traveled overnight from another city to be present, and the doctor's excuses were unacceptable." The incident highlights concerns about the efficiency and responsiveness of the Kenyan healthcare system in handling timely postmortems. Ogolla's passionate protest underscores the need for greater accountability and transparency in such cases. The family of the deceased awaits answers and a prompt resolution.
