    "content": "Thank you Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Last week, we talked about the cost of living which has gone very high. We have allowed a few people to manage and manipulate the way commodities are handled in this country. With that kind of management, prices of essential foodstuff s have gone way beyond the reach of the common person. When it comes to the departed ones, the opportunity cost is the food and not the money to pay mortuary fees. We have had a complication due the issues of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). Those people are not close to hospitals. So, there are people dying within the camps. Therefore, transporting the bodies from the camps to the nearest hospitals has become a major problem. We are putting up a modern maternity hospital in Mawingu Camp which is the largest. I would propose that the Government teams up with the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) and well-wishers and put up a morgue, so that people do not transport the dead bodies for 40 kilometres. This becomes an extremely expensive issue and the people are not in a position to meet these expenses."
