    "content": "been regarded just like any other beneficiaries of the facilities. Nyumba Kumi leaders and village elders are a creation of the Government. Gichugu is one of the pioneer constituencies for elders alongside Kibra. When an answer is given that elders and Nyumba Kumi leaders are regarded just like any other beneficiaries in the country, knowing that they have assisted the national Government administration on the ground, it is wanting. The last bit of the response that there is no facilitation because of lack of budget allocation is not convincing. There was no budget allocation for masks, sanitizers and PPEs. So, their facilitation ought to have also been factored considering that their work on the ground is very important irrespective of whether they are regarded as frontline workers or not. It begs the question whether the Government requires to utilise these people going forward for all communication and work on the ground. I want to note that there was a Motion before this House on the same. It is high time that probably, I or any other person, comes up with a law that will protect these people. Thank you."
