    "content": "As I have explained to the House, the money relating to mortuary fees that we collect nationally, if we exclude KNH and MT&RH, which are parastatals, is Kshs44 million. Of this amount, we have been waiving Kshs5 million in general, remaining with Kshs39 million. The Kshs39 million hardly pays for the expenses that the mortuaries have to incur, and that is one of the reasons as to why our mortuaries are in some kind of substandard conditions. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, having moved that amendment, the most logical conclusion is to have a social health insurance system. Such an insurance scheme will pay for all those expenses, and Members of Parliament will not be compelled to bring Motions like this one to Parliament to deal with the issue bit by bit. With those remarks, I beg to move the amendment."
