"content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I also would like to support the petitioners. I totally agree with the Hon. Members of Parliament who have spoken about this issue. We need to go a step further and ensure that this House allocates money for the wazee wa vijiji . In fact, they are working very hard, and have been doing a very good job, particularly for people who are in the pastoralist communities. I must say that without the wazee wa vijiji, nothing would be done on the ground. In fact, nowadays chiefs do not do most of the work because of these wazees . I totally agree that we need to go a step further and make this petition work. The problem with us is that we talk in this House about petitioners and we do not follow them up. I want to ask my colleagues that this time round, particularly with the 2016/2017 Budget, we need to set up a fund for the village elders. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
