    "content": "What is happening in Kilifi County is shocking. Sometimes, you borrow from other best practices. The best practice is from the Islamic religion. Members are not talking here. Their pockets are drained because they attend over 20 burials every weekend. Disco Matanga has been turned into an avenue where young girls are impregnated and then they drop out of school. The clergy and the leadership need to borrow from the Islamic teaching. When you pass on, you need prayers. Please, learn from the Muslims. Do not keep a body and move around with it. Sometimes, politicians fight during burials. All the things you are saying are not in the Bible. Please, respect the church. You have never seen a Muslim politician addressing people in Jamia Mosque. I sit at the back. I do not address people there. You would see none of us, including Hon. Sheriff Nassir, addressing people in mosques. You have taken politics to the church. You have made burial and matanga a disco. Where are you, as Christians, going? I even do not know how the Cabinet Secretary will answer the Question. This is your life. How you bury the dead does not concern the Government. This Member has asked the Question to the wrong person. The Cabinet Secretary cannot answer a Question on how you bury your dead. How you bury the dead is in the scriptures: The Bible and the Quran. Please, learn the best practice from your neighbours. Learn from us. Bury the dead as fast as possible, within 24 hours. Stop the practice of Disco Matanga and fighting over the dead. Stop taking politics to the church. Respect religion and the dead."
