A family in Kisii County is seeking assistance from the government to help bring home the remains of their kin, who passed away in Lebanon nearly a month ago.

The family received the harrowing news that their kin, Emily Nyamoita Nyabuto, had passed away under unclear circumstances, but they have yet to receive her body.

In the letter sent to her family from Beirut, the immigration authorities detailed the complex process involved in the repatriation process, which requires several formalities and expenses to ensure the remains are returned to Kenya.

Among the costs that the family is supposed to incur are transport costs, right from the ambulance, which initially took the late Emily to the hospital.
