    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am actually shocked by the fact that Kenyans would be forced to cross into Somalia, a failed State. I support the Member. Kenya Power Company should act with urgency. However, the reason I wanted to catch your eye for a minute is on the issue of hardship allowance. This issue should be explained not just to this House, but to Kenyans. The rationale behind identifying areas to be classified as hardship areas should be explained. For example, in Kajiado Central, there is a sub-county called Oloilelai. If there are remote places in this country, then that is one of them. Teachers have to commute hundreds of kilometres to schools that are far in between. Imagine a teacher having to use a boda boda every morning and they have no hardship allowance. This is an issue that must be brought to the attention of the House. I have taken up this issue with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and they say it is the Ministry of Interior and National Administration that does the classification. When you go to Ministry, they pass the ball over to TSC. This is a ping-pong game. You do not know who is responsible for the issue. This is an issue of great importance because it affects education in marginalised areas."
