    "content": "I support this Motion to the extent that even a dead person is entitled to human dignity and protection as provided for in the Constitution. This matter also deals with the issue of health. Health is a devolved function and we have a right as a country to take care of a person who is born up to the very end of his life. I know that a dead person in this country is not entitled to inherit property but he is entitled to equal protection by the law even upon death. The county governments’ assemblies in this country are independent. I, therefore, call upon them to enact legislations, bring Motions before their assemblies and pass resolutions that will make it mandatory for them to set up cemeteries. This matter that has been raised by Hon. Felix Odiwour is a reflection of what happens in the entire country. In Eldoret, we have Kiplombe Cemetery. It is full. It is time that as a country we look at the rights of the dead so that they are respected posthumously. Thank you."
