"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware! (b) We made proposals to the Treasury to pay the hardship allowances in three phases. Phase I for the year 2011/2012, Kshs530 million; Phase II for 2012/2013, Kshs1,355,000,000; Phase III for the year 2013/2014, Kshs1,355,000,000, making a total of Kshs3,240,000,000. The Treasury was unable to make any allocations for this Financial Year because there were a lot of other remunerations which were also being implemented in installments. I trust, therefore, that in the next financial year, the programme to pay the hardship allowances as approved by the Cabinet will be implemented. As regards the teachers, I would like the hon. Members to note to that allowances are subject to collective bargaining agreements and teachers agreements will come up for review in 2013. That is the only time that hardship allowances for teachers may be reviewed and changed. For now, the areas and the amounts remain as previously negotiated."
