    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you cut me short. I was continuing to answer the hon. Member. With all due respect, the waiver system is a well-defined process. The hospital must get all the information, after an application by the family of the deceased or the patients who have recovered and still stay in the hospital, saying that they are unable to pay. It is only after that application is received that a social worker is sent to the family to confirm that the situation is as described. We know of some people who have the habit of refusing to pay hospital bills. This is not only in the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, Eldoret, but also in other hospitals all over the country. Such people cannot be allowed to continue with the habit. Indeed, when it is confirmed that the family is able to pay, we can invoke the Public Health Act to force them to pay and take the body for burial. So, these cases are handled on merit."
