"content": "In fact, that Ksh7,000 is not enough. In this digital era, we have to empower them with smartphones and airtime to communicate easily and reach out to the people. We have members of our villages who are in the diaspora and would be willing to support the community on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities. Village elders must bring those people from the diaspora together. So, they must have smartphones. As I conclude, I want to urge village elders back at home to not only do administrative duties, but also empower people economically. If this Bill goes through, which is my prayer, they also have to be part and parcel of economic empowerment in our regions. Since they understand economic issues within the regions, they should chart the way forward in bringing together the community, people in the diaspora, civil servants and people of goodwill in empowering the community."
