"content": "Nowadays chiefs are given imprests. I wish the Ministry could increase the imprests given to chiefs to cover an allowance for village elders so that they can also know that the Government appreciates them. All issues pertaining to information the Government would want to get is received from the village elders. Honestly, as other Members have put it, the 10th and 11th Parliaments discussed this matter. We are now debating it again. Let it bear some fruits. These leaders do a great job. For sure, they burn the midnight oil as they are on duty 24/7, yet they have never been appreciated. We have talked about it year in, year out, but nothing has come out of it. I believe this is the last time we are discussing it. The implementation of this Motion should start forthwith once we pass it. I suggest to the Ministry to increase the imprests they give to the chiefs so that it covers allowances for village elders as well.
