    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to this Petition. I underscore the importance of paying hardship allowance to deserving public servants. I remember last week there was a Petition on a similar Motion by another Member, meaning this is an issue which we need to tackle as a country. The country cannot grow if some people are left behind. If we do not consider giving this area hardship allowance, then teachers are likely to keep moving to greener areas. That is why you see some teachers coming out of the hardship areas. The conditions in some hardship areas are very tough. There was a time I went to the North Eastern Region when I was a commissioner of TSC, to check the kind of hardship that people in that area were going through. We found a very unique hardship. We found lady teachers from outside that area who told us that they could not get people from that area to marry them. Therefore, we should devise a method whereby if they stayed in that area for about five or six years, they are given a chance to come down country to get married. We should consider that. I support."
