    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am very much aware of the circumstances in which that patient was admitted in the hospital. The patient remained in the intensive care unit for all the days, incurring a cost of Kshs224,150. Kenyatta National Hospital is a parastatal. For the last two years, the hospital has actually incurred losses amounting to Kshs488 million, because of those kinds of arrangements. I have not refused to release that body to the relatives. But they will have to come and request for a waiver. We have to prove that they are unable to pay for the hospital to grant a waiver and take over the debt. Anyway, since the hon. Member has really pleaded, I am ordering the hospital, on the Floor of this House, to waive the bill for hospital charges! But the relatives have to pay for mortuary charges because it is their mistake 2244 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 20, 2006 that made that body stay in the mortuary for that length of time."
