    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, whereas I agree with what the Minister has said, what I have referred to is what is specific to the Motion. That should be the case. The Motion is specific in terms of what I am urging the Government to do. Otherwise, I agree that the rest of the contribution is as per the Standing Orders and procedures. So, I am urging the Government to consider the development of morgue facilities in each district and sub-district hospital, in addition to ensuring that a requisite budgetary allocation is put in place. That budget will ensure that in future, bodies that are not collected within mortuaries after 21 days are the only ones that can be subjected to public disposal. However, within 21 days, mortuary fees should to be waived to ensure that the low end of our population is not inconvenienced. In the meantime, we have a moral duty to ease the suffering of wananchi by supporting this Motion. I urge all honourable Members to kindly support this Motion for the benefit of the people. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you and urge my colleague, hon. Erastus Mureithi, the Member of Parliament for Ol Kalou Constituency, to rise up and second this Motion."
