    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this very important Motion. At the outset, I thank Hon. Murugara for bringing this important Motion to the House. Village elders in the Provincial Administration hierarchy are the junior-most yet they do important work. They are very important. They are the only people who come in touch with citizens at the grassroots level. They are the people we use as machinery for networking the villages. They understand what happens in every part of their villages. They are the people who handle security issues. They are the people who coordinate development in our villages. They resolve disputes and have direct linkages to different stakeholders. Therefore, they are very important people. That is why they should be remunerated – so that they can be motivated and do more to assist the Government in ensuring that public policies are implemented in their villages."
