The Committee then proceeded to Lumi Primary School and Lumi Secondary School to assess the situation.
Later they toured Taveta sub-county at Timbila Primary School where teachers were given an opportunity to express themselves on the challenges they are facing without hardship allowances.
Teachers hope that the committee will include all the reasonable challenges faced by the teachers in Taita Taveta in their report to allow them start receiving their hardship allowances.
