Th Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has clarified the earliest information on suspension of bodies exhumation at Shakahola forest.
The CS noted that only the search for graves and exhumation of the victims of the Shakahola Massacre has been suspended to allow for logistical arrangements for the postmorterm examination of the additional 123 bodies recovered in Phase 2 of the exhumation exercise.
That phase 2 postmorterms will commence on Wednesday 24th May 2023 at the Malindi Sub-County Hospital.
The CS further detailed that the search for and rescue of survivors within Shakahola Forest and The Chakama Ranch generally will continue uninterrupted and will be extended into the edges of the neighbouring Tsavo East National Park in the coming days using ground and drone search.
He added that the grave search and exhumation shall resume on conclusion of the Phase 2 postmortern exercise.
