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. Mine is just a follow-up on the issue that Hon. Chris has raised. Yesterday was a day for the woman of Kenya. We celebrated because the court was conscious and sensitive to the fact that we need the numbers of women in this House raised to meet the constitutional threshold of at least one-third of the entire membership of the House. It is important that you, as the Speaker of the National Assembly, gives us direction on The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I will begin by thanking our friend, Hon. Agoi, for this informative leadership and deeming it important to amend the KNEC Act. This is a process that is very important towards harmonisation of the laws that existed before the current Constitution and ensure that whatever processes, especially in terms of a fundamental human rights and freedoms are also established in the laws that existed before. I also applaud the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology for the transformation in that ministry. We believe that there will be much more that will ...

This is a very good amendment Bill that is going to support our education processes so that we do not have children being paraded in court corridors as we have seen normally.

Having this disciplinary process in the Council and the appellate tribunal gives ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, for recognising the importance of the Meru nation. Having just benefited from Ksh1.2 billion from the President, I stand to support the great people of North Eastern and other areas. I congratulate the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives for doing a very good job. It is important that we bring on board the issue of marketing promotion. Livestock is not just about rearing cows and goats, but also about markets. I believe the Chair wants to bring on board the fact that we must do everything for value addition and ensure that ...
