    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to support this as well. My concern is that we need to redefine or review the meaning of hardship. This is because what it was then is not what it is now. For example, Karachuonyo, which is one of the largest constituencies, just like Ndhiwa, the condition is worsened by lack of infrastructure and water problems and there are no bridges. For example, a teacher goes to school in boots and walks for five miles. Even if they own cars, they park somewhere and walk to class. Those teachers cannot perform well because first of all, they are already tired. I agree with Hon. KJ that all this is happening because of lack of fairness in distribution of resources. If we can get bridges, we can build classrooms and roads. There is a place in Ndhiwa where we have a school up on a mountain and there are no roads going there. Teachers struggle to get there because of lack of infrastructure. My point is that we need to redefine what hardship is and how it can be categorised. Which is this criteria people are talking about? So, when we implement, it should be homogeneous and everybody facing the hardships can be considered, but not picking and choosing areas, which I think is unfair."
