A former mortuary attendant at Mbagathi Hospital is facing legal action for allegedly demanding a Ksh40,000 bribe to release a body. The attendant claims he received the money but passed it to another morgue attendant in charge.

• The accused, a former mortuary attendant, pleaded not guilty to the charges.
• The incident follows a similar case a few months prior where three other Mbagathi Hospital staff were charged for unlawfully releasing a body after receiving Ksh30,000.
• The earlier case involved two mortuary attendants and staff from the Health Records Department, who were charged on February 14, 2025, and released on a Ksh100,000 cash bail each.
