    "content": " I understand the struggle that my friend, Hon. Okello, is going through and I sympathise with his position. Because we were involved in the report as part of the National Government Administration Officers (NGAO), the principle of collective responsibility and considering that the next Cabinet Secretary for the Public Service still sits in this House, I would offer to push for the release of that report. Part of the reason is that I have also received petitions from across the country, especially from teachers posted to certain areas they consider hardship, yet do not benefit from hardship allowance. I will speak to the relevant officers within the Government to make sure that this is pushed in good time. I can also take up this conversation with Hon. Jared out of this place. I hasten to warn him that should the report require heavy budgetary expenditure, then it may require relooking. There is no problem releasing the report, but in terms of implementation, everybody will be required to come in and support budgetary allocation. Sometimes, the Government needs to expand certain benefits to different areas. However, the challenge is budgetary allocation to support the same. All those considerations will be made. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
