    "content": "village elders. When you go to the counties where we have county governments, they are also restructuring themselves to the village. There is that fear of duplication of the village elders because they are addressing the same thing. It should be harmonised because, at the end of the day, if we are going to be paying those village elders from the national Budget and have others from the county governments, we shall be duplicating those services. But they are important in the society and need to be recognised. I support the idea of giving them a monthly salary and not honorarium after six months or every year. That would not suffice or it might not keep them going because they have families with children. Most of the time they forfeit their own work which would benefit them in earning their daily bread or put food on the table in their families, as they go on with assisting in the arbitration of cases or problems. They are very good at identifying criminals who come to the villages because they know each and every person in the villages. They are always at hand to do some arbitration and even pass some judgement and rules which would make people go to courts."
