    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker, I rise to present a Public Petition on the gazettement of Nyatike Constituency as a hardship area. I, the undersigned, on behalf of the residents of Nyatike Constituency comprising the residents from Nyatike West, Nyatike North and Nyatike South sub-counties draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, harsh climatic conditions in Nyatike Constituency have become a great concern affecting the locals and even the Government workers who are posted to work there; THAT, Nyatike Constituency meets the requirements of a hardship area due to its vastness of the three sub-counties, deplorable road networks that have hampered movements, human wildlife conflicts, lack of clean drinking water, food scarcity, poor communication networks and lack of basic social amenities among others; THAT, the geographical orientation of the said sub-counties are also characterised by barren sandy soils, rugged and rocky terrain, poor rainfall, torrential floods and devastating poverty that continues to affect education standards and general harsh climatic conditions; THAT, the Government workers posted to Nyatike Constituency have been reluctant in taking up jobs in the constituency including those promoted to work in the region and those who take up the jobs, seek for transfer after a very short time; The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
