This election has taught me resilience, I have learned to value my colleagues that much more; I have realised that members of LSK value their society and it is for that reason they came out and voted for their candidates.
I am honoured and humbled by the overwhelming support from you my colleagues. You have entrusted me with your mandate to provide leadership as a Council Member and for that I thank you and I commit to be accountable and deliver on behalf of the Law Society of Kenya.
