    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this amendment and also congratulate Prof. Lonyangapuo who has shown unequivocal commitment, particularly to ensuring that we mainstream public administration. I think that this also is inspired by the fact that Sen. (Prof) Lonyangapuo, like many other Kenyans, comes from an area where the village elders are almost a grassroots movement that helps in public administration, in ways that add so much value to us. I do recall even during my time when I was at the Kenya National Commission for Human Rights (KNCHR), we constantly had to go to areas of distress to respond to certain calls of duty. Whether through cattle rustling or other forms of insecurity, the village elders played an extraordinary role. Therefore, if we have legitimized their position in terms of existence and by virtue of tradition, it has grown into a position that is recognized even in public administration, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
