    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I now rise to reply to the Motion. I will begin by thanking Members for the great interest they have shown in this Motion, and for the great contributions that have gone into it since yesterday. Most contributors have informed the House that this is not new. In the 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th and now 13th parliaments, Members debated similar Motions. That is enough justification to show that it is an important matter that needs to be expedited in terms of execution. You also notice that Members have improved the Motion a great deal. They have given their contributions in terms of what village elders are supposed to do and their job description. We also notice the caution that we must not use them politically. Therefore, with the resolution and tremendous support the Motion has received, I urge the House to now move to ensure that it is enforced, and our village elders begin to receive remuneration, even as I bring amendments to the law. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to reply."
