I am issuing this Statement on behalf of the Government. I am issuing it as the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kenya. So, this is an official Government Statement. Hon. Kombo was concerned about the role of village elders and referred to a Motion that had been passed by the House to the effect that village elders should be paid salaries. I also want to inform him that the role of village elders is also going to be part of the restructuring that we are talking about. Eventually, they will be the responsibility of the county government, and not that of the Central Government. I am sure the Summit, which is provided for in the Devolved Government Act, will see the need to ensure that village elders are remunerated in the same way the Government of Tanzania does to"
