    "content": "America. In our country, terrorism has been contained because of the village elders. They help a lot in giving information. Therefore, we need to think about them. I would like to thank the village elders because they risk their lives. In fact, it is very unfair. If for instance I had some people working in my shamba and in the evening I categorize them, give food to some and leave others, that would be very unfair. That is what has been happening. I would, therefore, ask the Government to consider paying those people. Finally, in my constituency of Laikipia West, which is a settlement area, we have had many people coming to settle in the constituency. The current District Officer (DO), assistant chiefs and the DCs are new guys from the university who, apart from the certificates they have, do not have the history of the place. Whenever there are boundary disputes, the village elders are the ones who assist them in tracing the real boundaries of the constituency. I, therefore, call upon all my colleagues to support this Motion by Hon. Injendi. I support."
