    "content": "Initiative. (2) These officers discharge these important roles without any remuneration by the Government. Hence, they are not motivated. (3) There is no law regulating and guiding the observation of employment of the village elders into the existing governance structure. In particular, the National Government Coordination Act No.1 of 2013 does not define a village as the lowest administrative unit after a sub-location. (4) There is a need to put in place criteria for the establishment of a village considering the population, geographical, and sub-cultural factors. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in light of the above, the petitioner prays that the Senate- (a) Amends the National Government Coordination Act No.1 of 2013 to provide for the village as the lowest administrative unit after the sub-location re-establishment of a village council; (b) Cause the Ministry of Interior and National Administration to develop a comprehensive policy on recruitment and remuneration of the village elders and in particular, a policy to cover the terms of engagement, functions of the village elders, criteria for recruitment and termination of engagement; (c) Make any other order that deems fit in the circumstances in the Petition. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
