To conduct burial on one’s
soil, the bereaved will have
to fork out Sh4,500 if the
dead is an adult, Sh3,000
for a child and Sh2,500 for
an infant.

Families whose relatives die and are
buried in cemeteries within the county
will pay Sh8,000 for a permanent grave
while those whose loved ones die in
other counties but are to be buried in
Kiambu will pay Sh10,000. Non-
residents of Kiambu will be charged
Sh25,000.
Besides these charges, the families will
be required to pay Sh30,000 every time
maintenance work is undertaken on
the graves in cemeteries.
Should a grave be reopened, say, in the
event of a court order, families will pay
Sh15,000 if the dead was an adult,
Sh10,000 for a child and Sh5,000 for an
infant.
Speaking in Githunguri earlier in the
week, Kiambu Governor William
Kabogo said the Bill would not be
amended, but would be implemented
as the executive had proposed.
Sigona ward representative Mutonya
Njenga said it was inhumane to charge
mourning families before allowing
them to bury their loved ones.

Which outsider would want to be buried in Kiambu?

Who is an outsider I wonder
Without Kiambu passport?
Non-mountaineer??

It makes sense to pay for a cemetery or to have carcasses collected but taxing one being buried in their own home is not fair. The bill should be amended.
