Are village elders who are yet to be recruited by the national government going to be problem solvers or government spies?
The Ministry of Interior has been conducting public participation over the past week to gather views from Kenyans on the recognition and formalization of village elders.
The exercise seeks input on recruitment, monthly pay, uniforms, tools of service, and the scope of their jurisdiction, as most villages lack clear boundaries.
It also invites views on the proposed title, Village Administrative Elder.
