The monarch also harped on the need to assign constitutional roles for traditional rulers so as to reduce the burden of government.

“It is very important that traditional rulers be given constitutional roles, before this form of government that we have in this country, it has been traditional ruler that are ruling their domains and communities.

“We know our people, I know if stranger enters into this community in few hours I will know.

“When our people have issues they bring them to the palace. It is overdue that traditional rulers be given constitutional roles that will reduce the burden of government.

“How many times does the governor and president visited this community, so we are the closest to our people, we know their problems and we know how their problems could be pacified that is why they should apportion constitutional roles for us.

“On the security of this community, I organise vigilante and security men, I don’t get security votes in spite that President, governors and local government chairmen used to get.

“When our people are challenged security wise, they will inform me before going to police station.

“Giving constitutional roles to monarch will tackle hardship, reduce, if not eliminate security problem in the society”, he said.
