    "content": " Mr, Deputy Speaker, Sir, those who are a little bit old in this country, like myself, know the history of Tharaka a little bit. In 1997 or thereabout, there were ethnic clashes in the area due to land issues. A Commission of Inquiry was set up and certain recommendations were made. I have not had an opportunity of looking at its report to understand whether the underlying land issues were resolved because it is out of those land issues that the schools in the affected areas were burnt down. I believe that the Senator can get an opportunity to come over, so that we engage on those particular issues. If the issues have been resolved, we will rebuild the schools, the same way we have done in Turkana. For the 15 schools which were burnt down, we gave Kshs100 million. With the assistance of the military, we are rebuilding those schools. It was the same case in the North Rift because there are schools that were burnt down. We have also given Kshs100 million to rebuild the schools. For these particular cases in Tharaka-Nithi, I encourage the Senator to come, so that we specifically look into those issues. If the issues are no more, then we will focus on rebuilding those particular schools. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, concerning the other one about the hardship allowance, I said earlier that the concerned Senators can come, so that the issues are addressed with the relevant Ministry. I thank you and submit."
