    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Statement. The Chairperson of the Committee on Health has come up with a very important issue. We are in a situation where Kenyans are really constrained. There are so many deaths. When someone is sick and in hospital, the entire family is affected psychologically and financially. Paying hospital bills becomes very difficult. There is need for hospitals to reach an agreement on how those bills will be paid by family members of the sick person. This is because it can be very heavy and weighty on them, especially when it comes to chronic diseases like cancer and diabetes. It is important for such patients to be cushioned. During this COVID-19 period, there is need to cushion family members who have lost their beloved ones. We do not want to see hospitals retaining bodies because family members are unable to pay hospital bills. This is the time to condole with families of the deceased. We need to comfort them to overcome this difficult moment."
