Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Residents of Aminius Constituency say they are now forced to transport the remains of dead relatives to Gobabis mortuary, since their mortuary broke down several months back.<\/p>\n

Aminius Constituency councillor Peter Kazongominja told The Namibian yesterday that they have been struggling with the situation over the past few months.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe clinic does not have an ambulance that is always there on standby and if there is one, they are told that the ambulance is not for a corpse,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that families from low income households are left to struggle for transportation to take their deceased to the nearest mortuary in Gobabis about 170km away.<\/p>\n

He added that since he has been in the council, this issue has been ongoing for years and there was talk in September last year of resolving it.<\/p>\n

Omaheke governor Pijoo Nganate said that he will follow the issue up.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast time there were no major issues with the mortuary, it was just some minor issue, which I will follow up, and update the media,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The mortuary has not been working for about five years.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week a daily publication reported that some members are left to keep their deceased at home with them for days.<\/p>\n

Some Aminuis community members said that they are emotionally overwhelmed with the fact that they have to keep their deceased at home with them.<\/p>\n
