    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this issue was brought before the last Parliament by the former Member for Awendo, Hon. Jared Opiyo. A number of us listed about 139 areas that needed to be considered for hardship allowance and took the names to the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of Government. The officer concerned could not own up and tell us the policy behind the payment of hardship allowance. This is something that we need to correct once and for all because there are certain regions in the country that benefit from hardship allowance and yet they do not deserve it. Unfortunately, some regions which have a lot of difficulties do not get the hardship allowance. In fact, areas which were formerly listed as hardship areas, but have since improved, still benefit from the hardship allowance and yet, we have areas that do not have proper infrastructure, like the ones we have mentioned now. They do not earn it. This is something that we need to address in this Parliament, once and for all."
