An incident at Makaburini cemetery in Kericho has sparked national attention after 32 bodies were reportedly buried there without proper legal documentation.

• The cemetery, owned and managed by the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK), is the primary public burial ground for Kericho County.
• The secret burial, which occurred over the weekend, has raised questions and anxiety among residents, prompting calls for swift investigation and exhumation.
• This event has amplified concerns given Kericho County lacks its own public cemetery, leading residents to rely on the NCCK-managed facility.
