My constituency and Tharaka Constituency are separated by a road. Teachers in Tharaka Constituency benefit from hardship allowance while those in my constituency do not.

This issue was raised by the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government. He said that there was mercury in the sugar. The Ministry of Health did not come out with their results that there was no mercury in the sugar. As the Member for South Imenti, I was in pain because they denied Kenyans information. This Committee has really worked hard. Let me commend them. Once a Committee is engaged in investigations, we rely highly on the evidence that we ... view
