    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. The two Petitions are well-timed. I may not have a lot to say about the one on robotics, but the Public Petitions Committee should look at it and see whether robotics would be of great benefit to the country and the economy, especially at a time like now. The Petition by Hon. Victor Koech Mandazi of Chepalungu is timely. We have had many Members of Parliament come here to Petition the House to recommend gazettement of various places as hardship areas. I also brought a Petition to Gazette Tharaka Constituency as a hardship area as far as the rest of the civil service is concerned. This is because the constituency is a hardship area for the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the Judiciary. I continue to pursue that Petition because it has not been implemented despite it being passed by this House. The same applies to a sub-county in Tharaka Nithi known as Igamba-ng'ombe, a very dry area similar to Tharaka, which should be gazetted as a hardship sub-county. Those are areas that should not be ignored. For the motions and petitions that are brought to the Petitions Committee, which makes recommendations and are passed by the House, I implore the Select Committee on Implementation to have them implemented the way the House passes them. This is because Kenyans are waiting, and many areas need to be gazetted as hardship areas, but they are not. Therefore, I plead for the Igamba-ng'ombe Sub-county to be included as a hardship area. Thank you."
