"content": "Even during the 10th Parliament, this Motion was brought to this House by Hon. Eugene Wamalwa. It was debated and passed but nothing was done. I want to advise Hon. Mutuse. We will bring a Bill that will pave the way for village elders to be paid salary. However, there is a quick fix. Nowadays chiefs and Deputy County Commissioners get some imprests. Because these people have suffered for quite some time, I urge the incoming Cabinet Secretary to enhance the imprests for these officers so that they can pay stipends to village elders before the Bill is enacted into law in order for them to be paid salaries. The stipend will, in the meantime, help village elders to improve their lives. Whatever they do is a very big role. The Government actually needs them. It is important to appreciate them."
