"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me first indicate that there is a bit of confusion across the whole country. There are certain contradictions with regard to the areas that are benefitting from the hardship allowance. This is the reason why a task force was formed in 2005 by the Office of the President, to ensure that we did not discriminate against areas that should be benefitting or schools that border areas that are benefitting and they are not. This committee came up with a report in 2003. However, it was decided that we should harmonise that for all civil servants. We are awaiting a report where we will have this harmonisation which affects the whole country. This is a problem even in my constituency. It is a problem in many parts of this country. We hope that by next year, we will have harmonised the issue and the problem that hon. Mwandawiro is talking about will no longer be an issue. We appreciate that there are pockets that are not benefitting when, indeed, they should be benefitting."
