"content": " Yes, on how they are important to the chiefs as well. Due to the intervention of the village elders, many households have saved money and this has reduced poverty considerably. I think we do not need more criteria on how to select these people. Usually in the traditional order, you become an elder because of the command of respect you have in the village. What is missing is that these people work for 24 hours. They are counsellors, judges and lawyers in their own right. They maintain order in the villages, sub-locations and locations. Therefore, we should set aside a budget for them, which could be in terms of allowances or honorarium because through the Public Service Commission (PSC), this might not be possible. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I support."
