    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I believe that this could be a useful provision. In fact, when the taskforce did its rounds and consultations, there was a lot of request that this component be brought in, first of all to facilitate further citizen participation and also to recognize that at the county level, the issue of the elders in our communities play a very important role. Therefore, it will be important for the county governments to have a more formalized way of recognizing these personalities out there and also to provide that the county governments themselves can determine how many such councils they may desire. It is a useful provision. It is innovative and it provides for us to recognize the village elders who have played a great role in this country but have never really been seen as doing anything useful. So, I strongly support this."
