    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. I think of the many things that we debate in this House and discuss, this is one of the most important Motions that have come before the House. I would like to thank my colleague Hon. Injendi for bringing it forward. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in Kenya, the Government stands tall with the President at the apex. Just like a Mvuli tree, he stands tall and straight without very big leaves because it has deep roots. Those deep roots that sustain the presidency are those layers of people. Those people are many, diverse and slow. We rely on them on a wide variety of services. Many of them have been mentioned. There is the implication that they can get a token. We should think seriously about incorporating them in the service. Ligurus are not old men. They are invariably people in their 20s, 30s and a few older ones. We call them old elders because they are given roles of using wisdom rather than education. They need that wisdom. They render arbitration services which are rendered by police officers in other countries and urban areas. Police officers depend crucially on village elders. If you have a crisis in the middle of the night, you turn to them, and send people to them."
