Farah Maalim","speaker":null,"content":" Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Member is a very close friend of mine. However, on the issue of hardship allowances, I want to tell this House one thing: African Americans or black Americans were enslaved for 480 years. After the civil war, they underwent continuous marginalisation for 100 years. When the civil rights movement started in 1960, white folks, in their own wisdom, trickery and deceit, said the benefits were for minorities. They sneaked in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people and all other sorts of minorities, including the Jews who are the best, and declared them minorities. This was done to easily take away the rights that the African Americans were fighting for. Hardship allowance was given specifically to areas left out during the colonial time and by subsequent Kenya Governments as a result of the Sessional Paper No. 10 of 1965. We also had an Equalisation Fund. Our good friends from other parts of the country, who had education as far back as the turn of the last century, are now trying to share with us the little that used to be given to the genuine hardship areas so that teachers get an incentive to go and work in those areas. They now want to expand that in the same way that they want to change the criterion for the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) and the Equalisation Fund.

Nyamaza, this is my friend."},{"id":1550563,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1550563/?format=json","text_counter":494,"type":"scene","speaker_name":"","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"(Laughter)"},{"id":1550564,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1550564/?format=json","text_counter":495,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Dadaab, WDM","speaker_title":"Hon.
