"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I fully agree with you that this matter has been overstretched. The fact is that there are some troubled places and arid areas whose residents need some support. However, to be honest, I feel that this House is becoming a bit greedy in the sense that beautiful places like Taita Taveta and many other places are demanding to be included in this category of hardship areas. Let us be fair to underdeveloped areas of our country that need support, rather than overstretching ourselves to include every district in our country."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This subject is very interesting. As much as Taita Taveta is green, I am very sure that Kwale is very dry. I am a victim. The challenge is that most teachers want to be transferred to the hardship areas leaving the greener areas very vulnerable. The performance in green areas is declining because of insufficient teachers and facilities. All the teachers are moving to the hardship areas. This matter needs to be addressed. It has greatly affected Kilifi South Constituency. As we wait for the Cabinet Secretary to come and address this issue, Parliament also needs to address it so that some areas are not left as enclaves. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."

"content": "time we thought outside the box and accepted the reality that Kenya is a country of diverse environmental and climatic conditions. That reality should sink in just like it has in terms of equalisation. Hon. Speaker, you are a renowned constitutional lawyer. I want you to reflect on these abuses, the clamour for every area to be classified as a hardship area and for everyone to get hardship allowances vis-à-vis what has happened to equalisation. When shall we have a country united by its diversity? As the Cabinet Secretary comes, let us end this issue once and for all. Over the last few years, the posting of teachers to regions in Northern Kenya has been abused just because of hardship allowances. It is high time Members of the National Assembly accepted that Wajir is different from Baringo, Laikipia is different from Bungoma, and Mombasa is different from Nairobi. This reality must sink in so that our country depends on the strength of its diversity in terms of people and climatic conditions."

We have the coastal region, mountainous areas, plain land and the Rift Valley. The reality is that those regions cannot be the same. I plead with the leadership and whoever will bring this answer tomorrow to be firm, decisive and bring this issue to rest once and for all. It has been abused."
