    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the onset, I want to declare that I support this Bill. I want to congratulate Hon. Malulu Injendi and remind the House that it is through little things that we change society. Peter Potter, a renowned change manager for institutions, had this to say: “When society is evolving, you must accept the past mistakes you have made.” One of the past mistakes we have made in this country is to have people working for us without being paid. Those people are the village elders. On a typical day, they are involved in mobilising people for development. They are relied upon on security matters and everyone goes to them to get any information about the society. They are wise men when there is a land dispute. Yet, they work for free and are not recognised. One day, I went to a baraza convened by the DCC to mobilise people against illicit brew. The people he relied on were not his chiefs or assistant chiefs. He was pointing out at every village elder and asking them what was happening in their areas or villages.
