Kenya has finally presented names of members who will represent the country in the East Africa Legislative Assembly.
The lists of the members include seven former MPs and two youthful legislators, who will represent the house in the regional assembly.

Flowrence Jematiah Sergon, who is the youngest of the members received (252 votes, former Mandera North MP Aden Nooru Mohammed (192), former Tigania East MP Mpuru Aburi (208) and former Nyandarua Woman Rep Wanjiku Muhia (180).
