1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to mislead this House and the country that an area can be classified as a hardship area for teachers separately and a hardship area for civil servants? If an area has been classified as hardship area by the Government, it should be so. Is there a separate hardship area for teachers and another one for other civil servants? Is it in order for the Minister to mislead this House?

They promised teachers and civil servants that, as from 1st July 2010, they would start getting the hardship allowance. They even indicated the amount. So, is it in order for the Minister to mislead this House that, that is a decision they had to take, together with the union, when they had already announced and made it known to the teachers in my district that they will get a hardship allowance with effect from 1st July, 2010? Up to ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very much aware that if there is any negotiation that would improve the welfare of staff, there is no union that would object to that. If the Government had determined these districts as hardship areas and it has a policy of remunerating and paying allowances to teachers and civil servants in those areas, what stops the Government from adding additional districts in the list of those which are benefiting from the hardship allowances and wait for the collective agreement of 2013?

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to evade my question by bringing a policy issue? What KNUT was opposing was policy change. I am asking very clearly; since there is a policy of remunerating teachers who are working in hardship areas at the moment, why can you not apply the same principle and policy and remunerate those teachers from Suba, Mbita and the rest, who are working in hardship areas without changing the policy?
