    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I also wish to add my voice to this very important issue. Unlike my colleagues, I want to take a different path. I do not think we need to lament about the plight of these very important people. As a House, we have the powers to allocate money specifically targeted at the village elders. We can decide here and now that beginning this financial year we will allocate enough money to these people, so that we enable them do the work they have been doing all along. It is a fact that in this era of devolution we must empower properly people at the grassroots level. There is no better authority in the grassroots than the village elders. So, I support the petition in full, but I want us to go beyond just supporting it. We need to take definite steps to allocate enough resources to support these village elders."
