The fact that she received limited education doesn’t stop her from pursuing her dreams. As a victim of retrogressive culture, Leshoomo vows to help other girls to be educated to beat cultural norms that act as a hurdle. Maison’s political journey arose out of a gutsy choice she made to attend public meetings against her husband’s orders. The move opened the door for her to become a nominated councilor in 1992 a position she maintained for 10 years. She joined Maendeleo ya Wanawake in 1995 and rose to become the chairperson in Maralal District. In 2008, the Party of National Unity (PNU) nominated her to parliament. As a long serving member of the Samburu District Peace Committee, she has taken it upon herself to promote peace between the Samburu and the neighbouring communities.

Ahsante sana, Bw. Naibu Spika. Kwa ukweli, Naibu wa Waziri ametambua mambo yaliyotokea tarehe 13, lakini nasikitika sana kwa sababu tangu miaka ya 1990s, mabomu hayo yako hapo. Jambo hilo limeripotiwa kwa muda mrefu sana ili wanajeshi wetu wa Kenya waende wakayatoe mabomu hayo. Lakini hadi sasa, hakuna hatua iliyochukuliwa. Ningemuomba Naibu wa Waziri ajibidiishe kwa njia ya ukweli kwa sababu hayo ni maeneo ambayo watu wanaishi na mabomu. Mabomu hayo yamesababisha maafa ya watu 13, zikiwemo ngamia, mbuzi, ngâombe na binadamu. Mabomu hayo pia yamechanganyika na yale ya wanajeshi wa ngâambo. Bw. Naibu Spika, kwa ukweli---

Mabomu hayo yatatolewa lini? Kuna kijana mmoja anayeitwa Betro Loronkiya ambaye amepiga ripoti mara nyingi. Alipoenda kupiga ripoti kwa polisi, aliwekwa ndani. Sasa, ninataka Naibu Waziri athibitishe jambo hilo kwa sababu tuko na stakabathi za kutosha.

Bw. Naibu Spika, ningependa kumwomba Waziri Msaidizi asiseme eti ni bomu moja liko huko kwa sababu mabomu mengi yako huko. Nina thibitisho kwamba mabomu yameonekana katika eneo hilo la Nairoborkeu . Je, hii familia iliyoathirika italipwa kwa njia gani? Je, mali iliyoharibika italipwa? Kuna watu wengi ambao wamehama mashamba yao kwa sababu ya mabomu yaliyomo ardhini.
