    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Petition by the Senator from Taita Taveta. It is unfortunate that some teachers in that county get hardship allowance and others do not. It is basically discrimination. The Senator has enumerated so many things stating that place is a hardship area. It is semi-arid, there are many wild animals, the roads are bad and they do not have water. The county supplies water to the counties in the coastal region, but they do not have water for their use. These teachers are suffering and they deserve to be given hardship allowance. It is not just Taita Taveta County alone, but many other parts of the country such as Makueni, Kitui and Narok. The TSC and the other Government Ministries, agencies and departments need to sit down and map out the country to determine which areas deserve to be given the hardship allowance. We should not waste time on the first petition that came through your office about the deputy president and the deputy governors. It should go to the dialogue committee because it is a referendum issue. When you are campaigning for President or Governor, you get somebody you can work together with as a running mate. This House cannot just amend it because you need chemistry to work together. If we go for a general election for a deputy governor or deputy president, then basically that leaves room for chaos. I know 80 per cent of governors do not see eye to eye with their deputies and they only took them in order to win elections. After that, they started fighting. I support the petition on hardship and let us not waste time on this other one. I thank you"
