"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I join my colleagues in welcoming the chiefs to the House. First of all, I thank you for recognising and inviting them in this august House. I appreciate them and the work they do. Most state organs of the Republic of Kenya, including the National Intelligence Service (NIS), get information from chiefs, assistant chiefs and village elders. I confirm to the chiefs that Members of Parliament support that village elders should be paid stipends. This is because we realise the work they do. On the same note, I urge the Government that our chiefs should be made mobile. There was a time when they were given motorcycles. They need to be supported with fuel and maintenance money. All the chiefs and their assistants should be provided with motorcycles. I thank their Chairman, Chief Mukungu from Khwisero, whom I know. I am very excited to see him here. I take this opportunity to welcome him. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
