    "content": "Coordination of security matters can be properly done by the village elders. Like we have always been saying, on matters where we need to understand most of the security problems, we call chiefs and assistant chiefs to come and explain to them how things work. It cannot be the function of the county governments to create village elders themselves because they do not deal with security matters. The national Government should create the docket of village elders first before anybody else because these are the people who understand security and land matters more than anybody else. So, they are very useful on matters of coordination. Chiefs may not know crimes like Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). In areas where people are still practising FGM, people have become so smart that they do not circumcise girls but they marry them and then they go and circumcise them in their homes. Somebody will tell you: “This is now my property so why do you want to follow?” However, that is still FGM. These are the people who can know and understand. So, we need these elders to help us in so many things, including crimes like FGM and petty crimes like stealing. There are so many children who drop out of school. These people can identify that the child of so and so has been denied education and they can take the report to the chiefs.
