    "content": "THAT, in the year 2000, the Government reviewed all hardship areas and declared Tharaka District (as it then was) as one of the hardship areas, and that consequently, all public servants in Tharaka South and Tharaka North Districts (as they then were) were paid hardship allowances for two (2) months after which the hardship allowances were stopped and subsequently scrapped, no attendant reason was given for this; THAT, employees of the Judicial Service Commission and the Teachers Service Commission stationed in Tharaka South District (now Tharaka South Sub-County), Tharaka North District (now Tharaka North Sub-County) and IgambaNg’ombe Sub- County still get paid hardship allowances despite the scrapping of the hardship allowance; and this disadvantaged civil servants working in other sectors in those sub-counties; THAT, there is growing discontent among the civil servants working in these areas because of the disparity in payment of the hardship allowances; THAT, efforts to resolve the matters with the Salaries and Remuneration Commission have been fruitless; THAT, the matter presented in this Petition is not pending before any court of law, constitutional or legal body; Therefore"
