    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support our colleague, the Member for Nyatike, and echo the sentiments made by Hon. Martha on the same. As a country, we ought to look at the parameters that we use to qualify a specific region as a hardship area. Chepalungu Constituency borders Emurua Dikirr on the southern part which is gazetted as a hardship area, while my constituency is not. As I stand here today, teachers from Chepalungu Constituency have refused to go back, even after delocalisation, and we face a shortage of teachers. I will also bring a Petition. When it comes before the House, I request the Public Petitions Committee to look into the matter of Chepalungu Constituency and consider it as one of the hardship areas. In the last one to two years, there are areas in my constituency on the southern part like Nogirwet and Kamongil that have not received a drop of rain, even at this time when the entire country is receiving high volumes of rain. I support the Petition by Hon. Tom Odege, Member for Nyatike."
