    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I appreciate that question from the nominated Senator, Veronica Maina. It is not acceptable that this process has taken a year. It is my commitment that in the next three months, this process will have gone through Cabinet and concluded so that the disparities that the Senator has talked about are addressed. The proposed review will not only consider the areas that ought to be classified as hardship area. It is an opportunity for the areas that have ceased to be hardship to be declassified. Situations have changed; the economy has improved in those particular areas. We have some very rich areas, which are still classified, as hardship areas. They need to be declassified to give way to some areas, which now qualify to be termed as hardship area. That is what we are doing. By end of January 2024, this matter will have been dispensed by Cabinet, gazetted and implemented. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know if I will get another chance to put my closing remarks."
