    "content": "The challenge the Muslims in Nairobi face is that if you die in Nairobi and you are from Kisumu, Eldoret, Lodwar or any part of this country, the body is supposed to be disposed of within 24 hours. Therefore, you get buried in Nairobi and that is why there is a challenge for space for the Muslims in the City. We are now faced with a crisis because if that space in Langata fills up – and it is quickly filling up – there is no possibility of finding a decent burial place for Muslims who die in this City because people come to Nairobi from every part of this country. If you happen to have a misfortune here, there is no need for you to be buried in your home area. In fact, you get buried in Nairobi. However, in other communities, we see ceremonies. We see bodies being transported back to Lodwar and yet, the people died in Nairobi. That is harassing the dead. Why do you harass the dead by taking them for 1,000 kilometers away for burial? That is not necessary. We need to educate our people and tell them that the dead deserve a decent send-off in the shortest period possible. I support the Motion and thank the Mover for bringing it on the Floor of the House."
