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.

honoured in their call of duty. I also noticed that money has been set aside for retired teachers. That is something that should be made in haste so that they are paid because they have served this country. I support this Petition and pray that the matter is solved expeditiously for justice to be done to that teacher. Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not know why they are worried about our friendship. There is nobody else who has expressed interest in this House. I stand to support the Petition that has been presented by Hon. Sara. Just to remind the House, last month, I brought a similar Petition seeking to have human-wildlife conflict managed in Meru County. I am happy because the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources visited the locus in quo. We visited four sites in Meru where conflicts between human beings and wildlife happen. That Report was tabled last week. The Committee recommended ...

contained in the Report, we do not have that money in the Budget. So, I request the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources to ensure that they provide this money. There is even a law which states that all persons who have suffered as a result of this conflict be compensated. We do not want people to be forced to go to court because we know that when they go to court, it takes a long time for the disputes to be settled. So, I ask the Committee to be serious in ensuring that the reports that they bring ...

need to harmonise various pieces of legislation, regulations and laws to be able to work together in harmony. It is clear that this is a law that is archaic and needs a number of amendments for it to be in tandem with the current provisions. My passion rises from my daughter who is at Alliance girls in Form three. She is a girl guide and is good in this movement and has travelled to various countries because of being a member of the Girl Guides Associates. I believe that this is one movement that I can compare to the then ...

The Privatisation Commission is supposed to look at the public assets that are held by the Government of Kenya and see how they can be privatised. It also looks at the shares that the State holds in State corporations and guides the country on the way forward. We know that the President ordered that the various parastatals be looked at for purposes of mergers and working out the best way to manage the affairs of the State in as far as privatisation is concerned. This is a very important Commission, especially within the Jubilee administration. To ensure that this work ...
