Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has proposed an increase in hardship allowances for not only teachers but all civil servants.
Speaking while strongly opposing a government proposal to scrap hardship allowances for teachers, the senator stated that the move was necessary to cushion marginalised areas from experiencing undermined service delivery.
Appearing in the Senate, Cherargei called for the inclusion of all civil servants in the hardship allowance scheme and the expansion of designated hardship areas.
He maintained that civil servants deserve fair and better compensation for working in difficult conditions.
