    "content": "This is long overdue because we should not talk about it all the time. I am in support of my colleagues who have said that we should be thinking of how to make sure it is in the Budget or we budget for it so that we sort out this problem once and for all. There are so many issues. In harsh areas, you will find that elders report on deaths and the issues of people who are suffering or have passed on. They share that information with chiefs or assistant chiefs. They are very important people. We should not even be discussing this issue. It should have already been passed as law so that we help them. It is very important for the village elders to get this remuneration so that they do their things. They are also Kenyans and have families. They have school-going children yet we are not supporting them in any way. We are using them. They are the network that the national Government uses to know what is happening on the ground. They get all the information. They are the only people who work for 24 hours without any pay. When there are problems at night, they are called to try and solve them. I do not want to say more than that. Let us move and not wait for another time. This issue should not come back here. Let us support the Motion so that we put it in the Budget to help the elders. I support the Motion."
