    "content": "I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Education on a matter of county-wide concern regarding the welfare of teachers serving in Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) and other hard-to-serve areas in Kitui County. Kitui County is predominantly an arid region. However, a significant number of teachers in the county do not benefit from the special allowances and considerations provided by the Teacher Service Commission (TSC) for those serving in the ASAL and other hard-to-serve areas. In the Statement, the Committee should address the following- (1) Which wards in Kitui County are designated by the Government as ASAL and hard-to-serve areas. (2) The criteria used by the Government to designate areas as ASAL and hard-to- serve areas. (3) The number of teachers in Kitui County currently benefiting from the ASAL and hard-to-serve areas allowance scheme and the number of those who do not benefit from this scheme. (4) The plans in place by the TSC to ensure that all deserving teachers in Kitui County benefit from the ASAL and hard-to-serve allowance scheme. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
