He also wants the committee to reach out to all segment of County, including all groupings and most importantly the elders of the remote towns and villages citing their experience in traditional conflict resolution strategies.“Let’s not only focus on the urban areas of the County. We need to reach out to the old folks in the towns and villages, they have extensive knowledge in solving problems.”
