    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. What happened to our deceased brother in Siaya County is abhorrent and disgusting. In the community where you and I come from, we revere the dead more than the living. We cannot allow this kind of barbaric behavior in sending off our loved ones. I do not speak for the Ministry, but I want to inform the distinguished Senator for Siaya County that the first victim of COVID-19, Engineer Namiinda, came from our area. When I consulted the Ministry, they gave us clear directions. They quarantined the family until such a time when they tested negative. The Ministry then advised that the body be wrapped in three body bags, put in a casket and sealed with the understanding that there will be no viewing of the body when it gets home for burial. The body of Engineer Namiinda was taken to Kitale and decently laid to rest. I do not understand the reason as to why they turned around and did that to the gentleman in Siaya County. The only dead body that I have seen being treated like that is of an animal that has died of anthrax. This is detestable and we want the Committee to bring this to the fore for Kenyans not to suffer from trauma when they are already traumatized by the disease and the loss of their loved ones."
