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.

Time is gone when we used to hear “ Kazi kwa vijana, pesa kwa wazee .” It is now time to give the youth the money they need, so that they can work. I urge hon. Members to pass this Motion, so that our youth can be empowered. This is a good Motion

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion and I rely on the principle that you are supposed to invest in your children and not invest for your children. We, as parents, at times have misplaced ideas concerning where we want to acquire property, and thinking that our children will enjoy it. What matters is the investment that you make in your child, especially a girl-child. I support this Motion on account that some of the ASAL areas have pastoralist communities who keep moving, as is their culture, in search of pasture for their livestock. ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to support this report and to state that it is important that we give quorum to the vetting of Judges and Magistrates Board because for quite some time this board has not been able to sit because they lack the three judges that are supposed to sit with them to constitute the required forum and quorum. You will find that, much as these judges did not physically present themselves before the Committee to which I belong; you will find that even in their appointment, the Vetting of Judges and Magistrates Act sets the criteria ...

him that there is no duplication of funds. What the hon. Member is doing is trying to support this Motion, but in a negative way because the women are not demanding for funds. The President has already assented to the Bill. What remains now is the distribution of the resources that have been given to the county governments and the national Government. I do not see why the hon. Member is trying to bring the issue of women and yet, the women he is talking about were appropriately elected by the entire 47 counties. So, if a time comes for ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you. I greatly support this Motion as amended and congratulate the Budget and Appropriations Committee for taking the little time that they had to make sure that they have presented this Motion on time. I also find that it would be important in the next Budget that we shall be working on to visit all the counties. This is a devolved government and all the issues that affect each county need to be brought on board. For example, the roads that I have seen being proposed in the 47 counties and the ones that ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. It has been stated that the age of the nominee is 67 years. The Constitution that we passed in 2010 is clear that we cannot discriminate as far as age is concerned, not unless the nominee is, say, 70 years, which then bars her from being appointed to such a position. The nominee whose name is before the House today has risen through the ranks of the judiciary since her appointment. She is a member of the Court of Appeal which is the second highest ranking court in as ...
