    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. In the recent past, we have witnessed chiefs demonstrating in this Republic for the first time in the history of this country. There has been a clear go-slow amongst assistant chiefs, chiefs and district officers in the Republic of Kenya because of uncertainty when it comes to their work. I am glad that this Bill is actually an assurance to the assistant chiefs, chiefs and the general Provincial Administration that they are there to stay. Therefore, we expect them to effectively, in the passage of this Bill, continue doing the very important role that they have always been expected to do. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have always wondered, in the absence of chiefs, who would be dealing with the disputes at the local level? We would have actually left this role to the police and courts. What happens in courts is not a resolution because there is no time. There is no provision for forgiveness. Before the assistant chiefs, the chiefs or the Kokwet elders, you always expect people to greet one another and go home as brothers and sisters."
