    "content": " Thank you for the protection. Hon. Baya is used to using a lot of people, including my party leader, as a stepping stone to his governorship bid. I will not add any vote to you by trying to attack me. Thank you once again. I want to make three points in support of this Motion. My first pertinent point is that protection against hospitals detaining bodies is an idea that we should have dealt with a long time, but it is not only the issue of detaining bodies that should be the question here. There are two more pertinent issues and they are anchored in the Constitution. My thinking is that there is a larger question to do with human dignity anchored in the Constitution and the right against detention. Under the Constitution, in Articles 19, 20, 21 and 25, there is clear provision and intention that no person should be subjected to degrading and inhuman treatment. I want to persuade this House that whenever our hospitals detain people because they cannot pay bills, it should amount to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment which is contrary to the provisions of the Constitution that I have alluded to.
