It is time we considered explicit remuneration for village elders. I have 278 village elders in my constituency. All of them are in the uniform I purchased for them, for which they truly appreciate. I was not even sure whether the process was legal but since I was not asking for anything from them in return, I just got them recognition. Each ward chose their uniform. That was a gesture. I wished there was something relating to the regular monthly income for them. I hope they will be considered. We should encourage Mr. Murugara, since he has initiated this, to own it. We can then progress it into a Bill and pass it in support of this wonderful group of people. With those remarks, I beg to move."}
