    "content": "Hon. Speaker, a clarification was sought by Parliament on why some civil servants receive hardship allowance while others, working in similar areas or environments, do not. The existing policies applied by various jurisdictions across the public service on designated hardship areas are currently not harmonised, leading to disparities in the payment of hardship allowances. These disparities have led to disharmony among employees of the civil service, teaching service, and the Judiciary deployed in the same geographical regions, with some earning the allowance while others not. Currently, some public servants deployed in the same geographical region receive hardship allowances, while others do not qualify due to inconsistencies in the designation of hardship areas. The civil service, county governments, and State corporations have designated 16 hardship areas; the teaching service has 44 and the Judiciary has 21. So, you can see that we dropped the ball somewhere in this matter."
