Nairobi city Mortuary Goes on strike bringing chaos

Workers at the main mortuary in Nairobi, Kenya went on a seven-hour strike on Friday to demand arrears on a special allowance they said has not been paid for two months.
After waiting for about five hours without a word from the protesting workers, the restive crowd forced the door to the main mortuary open and attempted to retrieve the bodies of their friends and relatives.
But the stench that emanated from the bodies and the chemicals used to preserve them overwhelmed the angry crowd, with the undertakers staying away in fear they would be attacked. Nairobi, Kenya. 05/02/2010.
