    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Allow me to appreciate the Report and thank the Chair and the Vice-Chair, my very good friends starting with lawyer, Hon. ole Kenta, Hon. Osotsi and the team as a whole. This Report is good and I support it because of its ability and its measurability.

Therefore, what it means is this: Let this House now look at each and every Motion. In as much as we support the Motions, let us look at them in terms of quality and measurability and compare them to existing laws. I want to thank the Committee for bringing up a very serious issue of the village elders. They have picked up the issue as having come into this house for the first time in 2008. Those are 12 years ago. I have the benefit of having been in this House in the last Parliament and the Member of Parliament for Malava brought it up as a Motion. It was debated and passed. To date, we are in the 12th Parliament and so far, village elders are still not earning anything from the national Government. It is a challenge to the Committee on Implementation and I want to ask them that, if they face any challenge, they should revert back to the House and come The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
