    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a)The government has harmonized the hardship areas through a study that was undertaken by my Ministry to rationalize and harmonized hardship allowance. The study recommendations were approved by the Cabinet and the monthly hardship allowance for moderate areas - we have specified areas into moderate and extreme - for moderate areas it has been raised to Kshs5,000 per month and extreme areas to Kshs10,000 per month. This applies to both civil servants and teachers with effect from 1st of July 2010. I emphasize both civil servants and teachers because currently they are different. Teachers serving in the same area are earning different amounts from the civil servants. (b)The cabinet approved that regular reviews be undertaken to progressively phase out the hardship areas as and when the hardship features are addressed and the area becomes comparatively developed."
