    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wish to thank the Cabinet Secretary. He is one of the Cabinet Secretaries who we cherish the work they are doing. We served with him in the National Assembly in the last Parliament. I think Members who served in Parliament make better Cabinet Secretaries. Baringo County has six constituencies. In five constituencies, teachers receive hardship allowances, except for Eldama Ravine Constituency. Even teachers in the neighbouring constituencies in Kericho and Uasin Gishu with the same climatic conditions receive hardship allowances. Is the Cabinet Secretary aware that Eldama Ravine Constituency has been discriminated upon? For several years, teachers in that constituency have not been receiving hardship allowance. Hon. Cabinet Secretary, that is contravention of Article 27 of the Constitution where equity for all Kenyans is protected by the law. It is important that it is done. Hon. Cabinet Secretary, are you aware of that? If you are, what is the basis of that policy, which in my view, is discriminative against teachers of Eldama Ravine Constituency? Shortly I will be filling a Petition, but I would like you to answer that question first. I just want to set the stage for you to answer that question today, hon. Cabinet Secretary."
