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. Speaker. I stand to support this Motion as presented by the Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations. I had a look at the duties of a commissioner or an ambassador which are well enumerated in the Report. One of the duties that is close to my heart is the promotion of sub-regional, regional and international integration and co-operation. So, as the Chairperson of the Committee on Regional Integration, this is something that is very close to us. It gives us the mandate then to look at issues of integration within East Africa and beyond. One of the ...

Our President, His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta, has preached the issue of having a common bond as East Africans. That includes our neighbours.

What kind of peace are we going to enjoy if our neighbours are not enjoying the peace that we experience within ...

Thank you hon. Speaker. On behalf of Meru County, I stand here to pass my condolences to the families of the late hon. George Muchai, the bodyguards and the driver who passed on after being assassinated. I call upon our security detail to ensure that investigations are speedily done and concluded.

Thank you for allowing me to proceed. I support this Motion. We have talked about issues of integrity. But what I would like this House to say is that let he or she, who is without sin be the first one to cast the stone. The House Business Committee is bigger than an individual. When we talk about removing a certain individual to preserve the dignity of this House, then we are missing the point.
