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.

So, the Meru nation is under persecution. What that means is that any time a farmer grows and transports Miraa to Mombasa or any other place, he or she will be charged by police officers. The police officers have failed to look at the laws that apply in Kenya. They have decided to go to the East African Community (EAC) and get laws that they think can sustain a charge.

Hon. Speaker, I want to alert Members that we must not agree to Motion No.9 which constitutes the membership of the Committee. But what we are saying is this: Even for us to bring in new Members, if need be, what we must do is to revoke the initial decision that was made by this House.

Hon. Speaker, we all agree that mistakes have been made. We all agree that mistakes have been made by the Budget and Appropriations Committee.

But those mistakes can always be rectified. So, my request to the membership and the Chamber is that we rescind the decision and move to the next Motion. They can then oppose the membership or seek for the entire Committee to be reconstituted.

Taking into account the separation of powers ...
