The Ministry of Education is seeking support from Members of Parliament in harmonizing hardship areas in the country to protect deserving employees from losing their allowances.

Cabinet Secretary for Education Julius Migos said that the government was determined to streamline extra monthly pay for the teacher which was discriminatory in some areas. ''We are going to do affirmative action and we have recommended that we harmonize all these issues relating to hardship areas.

As a government, we don't want a situation where one section is classified as hardship while the other is not hardship and yet they are all the same," said the CS.

The CS was speaking at Ngenia Comprehensive School in Laikipia County during the presentation of a bus purchased through the National Government -Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) over the weekend.
