Claims of hiring dead bodies have angered the public in Kenya
Mortuary workers in Kenya have criticized the country's police chief after he accused them of renting out corpses to political opponents.
Earlier this week, the Chief of Police, Japheth Koome, claimed that the opposition was renting corpses from their storage rooms and placing them at protest sites to rub chicken bones against the police.
However, Mr. Koome did not present any evidence to prove his allegations.
The Kenya Mortuary Workers Union has demanded that the police chief present evidence of his allegations, or withdraw them because of the potential harm to their work.
In July, Amnesty International reported that Kenyan police killed at least 30 people during opposition protests between March and July.
The group also said that the police killed most of the people as a result of gunfire and tear gas during the protests.
