    "content": "My District County Commissioners (DCCs) and Assistant County Commissioners (ACCs) in Mathioya told me not to leave this House without supporting this Motion. What happens is that every time they have a meeting with village elders, since village elders have no allowances and salaries, the DCCs and ACCs are forced to chip in from their pockets to get something for those village elders. Village elders play a very important role. We saw it during the campaigns, though they were misused. The former Jubilee Government, through the Office of the President, used to give money to try and influence the outcome of elections. If they are properly remunerated, it will be a job that will be desired by many, especially when our people get older. These small allowances that they will be getting will help them with mobility when responding to an issue in their area. With those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion. Thank you very much."
