    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I totally agree with you. I am sure Hon. Injendi would have done better by amending the National Government Coordination Act and bring in the roles and functions of village elders. The Motion will again require you to make it into a law. So, the Motion will just be to debate, resolve and send to the Committee on Implementation. I am sure that, as we debate that, Hon. Injendi and all of us should be thinking ahead so that we can amend the National Coordination Act which stipulates the various strata and functions of the Provincial Administration from the Regional Coordinator to the County Commissioner, Sub-County Commissioners, District Officers, Chiefs, Sub-Chiefs, and we put a strata of village elders where they can become part and parcel of the national Government. They can be paid according to what we set as House. As we debate, I am sure that is the best route. I will urge Members, as the Member of the House Business Committee (HBC), to deal with Bills more. We look at all existing principal Acts and see whether we can amend them, than having Motions. That is because Motions will not have a direct effect of helping our people. So, I am sure as we debate that Motion, another Member or Hon. Injendi should be preparing a Bill to bring an amendment to that Act."
