"content": "The village elders have been entrusted by the community because of attributes such as honesty, fair judgment, sacrifice for the sake of the community, and on humanitarian grounds. They always volunteer for any difficult jobs within the community. They have, however, been reduced to look like beggars or opportunists. They have been taken for granted all this time. I urge this honourable House to consider remunerating them. We still need to use those village elders for economic empowerment within our communities. This is the kind of work that they do because they understand problems that every family has. Whenever we do bursary allocations, or administrative duties at the grassroots, village elders are the very important people who are always present within our communities."
