A family in Kisii County, Kenya, is appealing for government assistance to repatriate the body of their kin, Emily Nyamoita Nyabuto, who died in Lebanon over a month ago. The family faces numerous complex procedures and high costs for the return of her remains.

• Emily Nyamoita Nyabuto passed away under unclear circumstances in Lebanon, where she had gone in 2023 seeking better opportunities, and was expected to return in June 2025.
• The Lebanese immigration authorities detailed extensive costs including transport, forensic reports, mortuary storage at Hariri Hospital, legalization of death certificate, embalming, and special coffin, requiring the family to incur significant expenses.
• The family, from Riosugo Village in Bobasi Constituency, has been left struggling to cover the expenses, prompting their appeal to the Kenyan government to intervene in the repatriation process.
