    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. These elders are very important people in our villages. We even use their services when we have conflicts of boundaries and in areas where we have so many problems of insecurity. It is very unfair for the Government not to remunerate these elders. If you look at county governments, they have gone up to the village level and the elders engaged are being given some allowances, but the national Government, which is a larger government than the other ones, does not consider these elders. So, it is very important for us as a House to at least make sure that these elders are remunerated. If you look at the Kenya Police Reservists (KPR) in the National Police Service (NPS), the Government gives them some small token for the work they do. The same criteria can be used to remunerate these elders. Even if the SRC refuses, we have other criteria that we can use. When it comes to education of these elders… Even the KPR are not educated. The Government should use the same criteria because the Motion says we identify the criterion that can be used. Thank you very much. I support."
