You were clear, that in ngao, we need career progression of Assistant Chiefs, Chiefs, Nyumba Kumi and village Elders. Where I come from, sometimes they are referred to Mukasa . Where you and me come from, they are referred to Kokwet elders with the indulgence of the Standing Orders. Those people are critical and important in our society. How do we ensure compliance and intelligence within a community? We should ensure that ngao have opportunity. They should have an opportunity to give intelligence of the LPG plants that are normally operated. We should use ngao. That is why I was saying, today in the afternoon, and the House agreed with me, that village Elders, whom we call them Kokwet Elders, or Mukasa, or village Elders, must be remunerated. For example, in Kapkeben village in Mosoriot, where I come from, my local village Elder is called Christopher Arap Rotich. If I want to listen to the intelligence of the ground on security and marital issues, and what is happening in the society, he is the correct person to talk to. However, we do not need them to go to school to qualify. Why would you need academic qualification to be a village Elder? You just need to understand the culture and The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
