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.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support the amendment by the Committee. This is the right thing to do. It is in view of the fact that we have seen jobs that have been limiting persons to a certain age just because the Constitution interprets “youth” to mean between 18 and 35 years old.
