    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I have been around for a fairly long time both in the country and in this House. The original idea, object, and spirit of hardship allowance was to try and give an incentive to the areas that were historically marginalised so that the officers who work in those places can have an incentive that pays them more so that they can cope with the life there. That was the former Northern Frontier District (NFD) and a few other pastoral areas. It was the same reason for establishing the Equalisation Fund. We now have a situation where everybody wants to crowd into it by using every other criterion. Hon. Speaker, we are defeating the very basis of the hardship areas. Every time teachers are posted to hardship areas, they want to go back to other parts of the country because of insecurity and lack of infrastructure. We do not have a tarmac road in my constituency."
