"content": "2. The reason why there has been a delay in implementation of the recommendation of the inter-agency committee that Lungalunga Sub-County be gazetted as a hardship area. 3. A report on the progress, if any, by the Ministry to implement the proposal for gazettement of the area. Hon. Temporary Speaker, prior to 1997, the Public Service Commission and the Teachers Service Commission designated hardship areas, which included former Wajir, Mandera, Garissa, Samburu, Isiolo, Lamu, Marsabit, Tana River, West Pokot and Turkana districts, and the northern part of Baringo District. This comprised 11 fairly distinct hardship areas. The designation of those former districts as hardship areas was undertaken in consultation with the Office of the President, the Directorate of Personnel Management, the Provincial Administration and Internal Security. In 1997, the Minister for Education, through Legal Notice No.534 of 11th November 1997, gazetted an additional 25 hardship areas for the teaching service, following a recommendation by the Teachers Service Remuneration Committee of the Teachers Service Commission. In 2005, the number of designated hardship areas for the teaching service was increased from 36 to the current 44 as indicated in the Appendix that is attached to this response, which I will table. Currently, the Civil Service, the national Government and the county governments have 16 designated hardship areas as shown in the attached document, while the judiciary has 21 designated hardship areas based on the location of law courts, shown in another attached document. The Government, through the Ministry of Public Service and Gender, taking cognisance of the existing disparities in designated hardship areas in the public service, established an inter-agency technical committee in March 2019. The committee comprised representatives from the Ministries of Public Service and Gender; Interior and National Administration; Education; the National Treasury and Planning; the Public Service Commission (PSC), the TSC, the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), the Council of Governors (CoG), and the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS)."

Lungalunga Sub-County is currently not designated as a hardship area for purposes of payment of hardship allowance. Lungalunga Sub-County was visited by the Inter-Agency Technical Committee during the data collection exercise and will be assessed against the criteria set by the KNBS to guide the determination and categorisation of hardship areas as shown in Appendix 2 of the Ministry's response."
