I have a special attachment to the village elders since that is where I was born and bred. I am from Kamaua Village, and I am sure my village elder and the assistant chief, Madam Mercy Kesse, who is my classmate and someone I am so proud of, are here. I want to assure the village elders from all the villages that I know and I am associated with, that they are indeed doing a superb job. I appreciate the Member of Parliament for recognising and appreciating them and ensuring that they take a tour to the National Assembly. Being a Member of the Departmental Committee on National Administration and Internal Security, I want to assure them that we have discussed their issues and their contribution to the welfare of this country. The Committee is working hard to ensure that they get a stipend in the budget. This will ensure that even as they serve the Government, they will at least get something for airtime and to support them. As we speak, they are volunteers who are serving this nation for free. Welcome all of you from Kamaua, Kamokono, Komba Emit, Chepchobit, Kapkei and all the other villages. Thank you very much and welcome."},{"id":1571200,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1571200/?format=json","text_counter":39,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

She has done something which no one has done before; inviting the ordinary leaders who work for our country back at home. Apart from the fact that I have been in charge of the Provincial Administration, I also stand to contribute to this because I have a special attachment to Uasin Gishu County – this is very vital to me. I hope the Members of Parliament from that area know that the name Uasin Gishu was given by our ancestors. We ask the leaders from that region that as they continue managing Uasin Gishu County, they must remember that all of us have a strong attachment to it. They should manage the place well because it is our land and we hope that one day we shall all be reunited there. Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker."}]}
