I wish to inform the Cabinet Secretary that Igamba/Ng’ombe Sub-County in Tharaka Nithi County has been identified and classified as an ASAL. When will this sub-county be gazetted as a hardship area so that teachers and public servants in this area can start receiving hardship allowances? Tharaka Constituency was gazetted a long time ago as a hardship area and teachers have been receiving hardship allowances while other civil servants are struggling. Most of them transfer from the constituency. In Chuka Igamba/Ng’ombe Constituency, most of the schools are closing down because no teacher wants to be posted in that area. Most of them are transferring back to Tharaka, Kitui and other surrounding sub-counties. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."

"content": " Hon. Speaker, I have been around for a fairly long time both in the country and in this House. The original idea, object, and spirit of hardship allowance was to try and give an incentive to the areas that were historically marginalised so that the officers who work in those places can have an incentive that pays them more so that they can cope with the life there. That was the former Northern Frontier District (NFD) and a few other pastoral areas. It was the same reason for establishing the Equalisation Fund. We now have a situation where everybody wants to crowd into it by using every other criterion. Hon. Speaker, we are defeating the very basis of the hardship areas. Every time teachers are posted to hardship areas, they want to go back to other parts of the country because of insecurity and lack of infrastructure. We do not have a tarmac road in my constituency."

"content": " You practised law in Mandera and the only way you could get there was by flying. The road was impassable. I do not have a metre of tarmac in my constituency and many other constituencies are like that. Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, we should avoid crowding this so that we do not defeat the very purpose for which it was meant in the first place. In law, it is the spirit and the object of the framers of that piece of legislation. It is not just the face value of the law or the practice. So, what is the Ministry doing to make sure that hardship areas are also brought up to speed with the rest of the country so that they do not remain hardship forever? How can it be ensured that this thing is not crowded? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
