"content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill by Hon. Malulu Injendi. Before I make a few comments, allow me to welcome the students from my constituency, Lesirwo Secondary School, to Parliament Buildings and the other students who are in the Speaker’s Gallery and the Public Gallery for finding time to benchmark and see the proceedings of this House. This issue of village elders has been canvassed in this Parliament since Independence. It has come in the form of various Motions that are passed by the House and the net effect is that there is no money to actualise the fact that we must pay a form of stipend to our village elders. I thank Hon. Malulu Injendi for coming up with this Bill so that, for the first time, Motions that have been passed and lie in this House can have the strength of law. If this Bill is passed, it will be a must for the Budget and Appropriations Committee to ensure that it allocates resources to help our village elders do the noble duty they do in helping the government of the day."
