    "content": "We should discourage individual home-based burials where we have separate burials because of the present land titling system that we have and instead encourage homesteads to have cemeteries as opposed to individual burial sites. It is important that we encourage the administrative units, be they in sub-locations or locations and churches to have burial grounds for members who live around there. When the Nairobi City County Government acquires new land for a cemetery, it should consider licensing multi-storey tombs. If you go to New Orleans in Louisiana in the USA, you will find tombs za gorofa that are multi-storeyed so, the newly dead are put in coffins at the lower level and after a while there is a cleaning process of the bones. They are packed and put in the next level and so on. So, if you go to New Orleans - I have visited those cemeteries - you will find a family from the 1860 Civil War to the present time with one tomb with all their names. We should consider that. We should also encourage the devolved units including the Nairobi City County Government to consider licensing entrepreneurs to establish private cemeteries."
