    "content": "administrative actions. For instance, while Kilifi Township was officially gazetted as a municipality in March 2019, the SRC did not provide advisory on the house allowance payable until July 31st, 2023. This gap highlights the lag between the enttachment of legislative. Further, the criterion of designation of hardship areas in the county has not been standardised across the entirety of the public service and is characterised by multiple sector players. However, the designated hardship areas do not reflect the extensive presence of remote areas and rural locations which surpass the number of other cadres in public service. Madam Temporary Speaker, while foregoing, the Committee on Education therefore recommends that the Ministry of Public Service and Human Capital Development should, in consultation with the relevant stakeholders, prepare and present to the Senate for consideration an appropriate policy and statutory instrument on identification and designation of hardship areas. The Committee further recommends that criteria for identification and designating hardship areas should be standardised across the entirety of the public service. The weighty criterion for designating these areas should be based on the smallest administrative units used in identification of marginalised areas. The Committee report also contains specific areas within the two counties that meet the criteria of designation of any area as a hardship area by the Ministry of Public Service and Human Capital Development and consequently, payment of hardship allowance to teachers working in those areas. As I conclude, I wish to sincerely thank all the stakeholders for that well- researched and articulate oral and written submissions on the issues raised in the two Petitions. The Committee specifically appreciates the Cabinet Secretary, Minister of Public Service and Human Capital Development and the Chief Executive Officer of the TSC, for their submissions during the consideration of the Petitions. Madam Temporary Speaker, I also wish to sincerely thank Members of the Committee of Education for their insightful contributions during the consideration of those Petitions and development of the two reports. We also want to thank your Office and the Office of the Clerk for the support extended to the Committee in execution of its mandate. I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move and request Sen. Beatrice Ogola to second."
