City residents with no rural homes may be forced to cremate their loved ones since Lang'ata Cemetery is full and the county has not acquired land for a new one. “There is no space at Lang'ata Cemetery and the county has not yet found an alternative land,” he said. City Hall charges Sh16,500 to cremate adults and Sh15,500 for children. KFS had said the government allocated the old Nairobi City Council 50 acres in the 1990s to expand the cemetery. However, City Hall carried out investigations and there are no records to show that the national government gave City Hall 50 acres.
