Florence was at one point the vice chairperson of Law Society of Kenya (LSK). During her campaigns she overcame all odds to win against the strong Alliance Party of Kenya (APK) wave in her backyard. The impetus to seek a platform to represent the people of Meru was created by the pro bono cases she undertook in the years she practiced law in Meru.

tell you all politics are local. My first and foremost interest is the Meru people who grow, sell and consume miraa . We have also been told that there is an Article in this DCA that takes care of our interests. I have read it and the closest I have come to a Clause that would look at us is Article 3(i), which talks about other areas of mutual interest, which may be decided upon in future between the Government of Kenya and the Government of UK. The Leader of the Majority Party said that there is an opportunity for ...

Hon. Speaker, I am sure the Leader of the Majority Party does not know what has happened from 2013 until now. Hon. Sabina from Murang’a County has signed a deed poll with my legal office. She is now legally recognized as Maitu wa County ya Murang’a, just like we have Kikali in Meru County. Back on track, I have looked at this Petition---

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would have finished if it were not for the interruptions by the Leader of the Majority Party. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have seen the Petition and it has been signed by almost 2,000 members. They want to know how their funds have been used and how their land is being subdivided and sold.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, such issues and conflicts about land have even led to deaths, especially in Murang’a County. So, I am praying that the Departmental Committee on Lands looks at these issues and arbitrate. This is because the owners of this land do not have money to seek judicial redress. This is the best place for them to get a remedy and I hope that the Petition can be expedited so that we do not have any issues that affect the shareholders. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support.

I second and state that the Committee is in agreement. There was ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. This is one of the proposals we looked at as a Committee and agreed with. Our agreement was also based on the fact that being a subsidiary legislation, it is important for the Government to be able to harmonise it between the various arms of Government. Whether it is the county government or the national Government, it is good so that there would not be any conflict of laws. Therefore, this is an important amendment that we took on board as a Committee and we agree with it.
