“The government is currently undertaking a harmonisation exercise of all the hardship areas across the country for gazetting in a registry. There was an issue of gazetting all hardship areas and we said let us do it for the proper payment of hardship allowances to be paid across the board which is supposed to be harmonized across the board for both teachers and other public servants because it so happens that sometimes you will find the same area under the TSC is not gazetted as hardship area but is gazetted under the public service, that brings the conflict,” he said.
