"content": "with this matter will propose a legislation that will put these village elders under some structure that is recognized and known in law so that they can get some allowance when they attend some of these meetings. You cannot leave them at the mercy of the chief; you cannot rely on a chief to pay you from his pocket. The chief and the DO do not have an allowance to pay these village elders. I support this Statement by Sen. Cherargei. I hope that the lucky Senators such as Sen. Poghisio, Sen. Wambua, Sen. Faki and Sen, Murkomen who are likely to make it back to the House will pursue this matter further so that we can have in place a legislation that has a structure on how we can remunerate these village elders. They are our friends and we all know them in our villages. They are not rich people; they are really struggling. It is good that we appreciate them. I support this Statement and I hope that if the committee, which is going to handle this matter will not complete it then the next Senate will take it up. I thank you."
