    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will, quickly, answer the question on hardship areas. Hardship areas in this country are gazetted. The support that the Government gives through TSC or Public Service Commission (PSC) is based on the gazettement of an area as a hardship area. Therefore, the gazettement is the key that unlocks the issue of hardship areas. Without an area being gazetted as a hardship area, there is not much that TSC or PSC can do. What needs to be done is mapping the whole country to determine which areas qualify to be gazetted as hardship areas for both TSC and PSC employees to benefit. We need to have a harmonized way of determining what is a hardship area – a criterion that will apply across the board. The mapping has not yet been done. We are currently dealing with the hardship allowance issue depending on whether an area has been gazetted as a hardship area or not. On the issue of recruitment that we are talking about, replacement of teachers who leave service because of natural attrition and other reasons is actually done at the sub-county level. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
