    "content": "This Bill has come at a time when Kenya, after the promulgation of the new Constitution of inclusivity, sought to ensure that everybody is brought on board and, more so, the actors of the same Constitution who ensure that the spirit, agenda and mission is adjudicated to the letter. Our village elders aid this Government at large and far beyond what the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration is doing at Harambee House. At such a moment when we are experiencing serious rains, the El Nino, and at night floods are reported, the first person to be in contact with the affected is not the chief, sub chief, the assistant county commissioner or the cabinet secretary. It is the village elder. The person who will be called to give a feedback report that the national Government and National Intelligence Service (NIS) will use is the village elder. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Judiciary has come up with a model of Alternative Dispute Resolution. It has worked well for them to reduce the workload that had stayed for long and justice had been denied. We say that justice delayed is justice denied. Those people we are talking about today have managed to sort out petty issues. When it comes to issues on two people, there are no petty issues. They play a pivotal role by ensuring such problems are sorted out amicably, and peace or tranquillity is restored in our society."
