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.

I am only saying, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, that we cannot forget history. But the point is that I fully support the amendment by the Chair. When the Chair speaks, it is the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs that is speaking. So, it is not fair to say that at any one point there was any casual procedure to this programme. I, therefore, support.

I also take this opportunity to thank His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta for ensuring that women representatives in this House finally get an allocation that is known as the National Government Affirmative Action Fund. We fought a very big battle to ensure that we get a fund from the date we joined this Parliament in 2013.
