    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to comment on the petition you read, noting that it will come to the Committee where I sit. I listened carefully and the petitioner is urging change of names but not introducing anything new. Because the Petition will be submitted to the Committee and it is a property of the House, we shall look into it and respond accordingly. I would also like to comment on the petition by CNN on hardship allowances and areas. Hardship is a problem in this country, which should be looked into keenly. It was done in a corrupt way, if I may use the word. Some schools were included in the category of hardship areas while others were not depending on how the head teachers of those schools were relating to the officers of the Ministry. It needs to be done holistically so that it is harmonised so that all schools can get teachers uniformly. As we speak, most teachers crave, even sell property to bribe their bosses, to be transferred to hardship schools, because the difference in salary is very big. Therefore, you find some schools are deficient of teachers while others are overstaffed. In some constituencies, you will find that a school is in the hardship category and less than two kilometres away another school is not in the same category. And yet those teachers sleep at the same market or they have rented houses within the same region. It becomes a problem. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
