Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I arise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare on a matter of national concern namely the Implementation of the Inter-Agency Technical Committee Report of 2019, which proposes the reduction of hardship allowances allocation from Kshs25 billion to Kshs19 billion and the reclassification of hardship zones across the country. The implementation of this report stands to affect thousands of civil servants serving in areas previously recognized as hardship zone, including Elgeyo Marakwet County which is proposed for removal from classification as a hardship area despite security challenges that have hampered effective service delivery in that region. In the statement, the committee should address the following- (1) The rationale behind the proposed reduction in hardship allowances from Kshs25 billion to Kshs19 billion and the justification for the reclassification of hardship zones.
