@QW25071985; your ignorance is annoying! ALL District Hospital have a morgue! It is a standard requirement for a health facility of that category.
Nairobi has a very serious shortage of public hospitals, in fact it has the worst ratio in the country. The only other District Hospital is Mbagathi. For that reason, Nairobians always go to Kenyatta even for minor ailments, yet KNH is a Referral Hospital.
But about that name: I don't like the idea. I don't think it is wise to name a public institution after a living person.
If it is true that Lucy asked for the gift, then it would have been best to ask her to name it.... publicly. It would have been very embarrassing for her to stand up during the official opening and say something like "I, Mama Lucy Kibaki, hereby name this hospital after myself, that is, Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital".
Imagine that!
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
