    "content": "Those village elders are very important people. They are selected by the community because of their skills. They have leadership qualities and are committed. Moreover, their morals are known and they are of high integrity. Those village elders are experienced. We also know that experience is a good teacher. They are senior citizens and they have wisdom. Proverbs 1 in the Bible says that a wise man or woman can build a house. So, those people are building villages. They are on the ground and they have information. We need people who have information. Another very important thing is that those village leaders or elders are a jack of all trade. It means that they play the role of teachers, judges, counsellors and pastors. We need to empower, support and recognise them. There is burning of schools all over the country and I want to mention that because I can see students in the Galleries. Once those students burn schools, they go back to the villages. The village elders hold meetings with them and do guidance and counselling. We should empower, support and recognise their efforts. With those few remarks, I support."
