    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support my brother Jalang’o. It is important for us as Kenyans to have a place where we can bury our parents and loved ones. There are two days that are important to a human being: the day he comes to this world and the day he goes. When you come to this world, you will want to own land. The Government and the law give you the right to own land. When you leave, you will be issued with a death certificate which of course means that you will be put somewhere to rest. It will be bad if you bury your father, son or loved one today, then tomorrow as you move around, you find that animals have removed the body. You will really feel bad. So, it is important for county governments to look for money and buy land that can be set aside to bury our loved ones. We love our daughters or relatives when they are alive but, when they die, they turn to be something else. You cannot stay with their bodies in your house. Even if you stay with them, for how long can you do so? Some cultures do not allow cremation in order to keep the memory of their loved ones. If you do not believe in cremation, you will want to give your loved ones decent burials. For that reason, I support my brother in saying that we need to set aside land for cemeteries. A few people have land to bury their loved ones. Rural areas, like where I come from, still have land. In towns which are more densely populated, like Narok North, we will soon lack a place to bury our people. This Motion has come at the right time. It is important that county governments set aside money and look for land where we can bury our loved ones."
