The nominee has served in various regions, including Nyanza, Eastern, and South Rift Valley.
Notably, Lang'at mentioned her involvement in activities that ensured girls were protected from retrogressive cultural practices in Bomet County.
"Those experiences have helped me build resilience and interact with environments where GBV is rampant and interventions are needed to strengthen the fight against GBV," she said.
Lang’at further noted that female genital mutilation (FGM) and early marriages were more common in communities where poverty was widespread.
"So, to address the challenges of FGM and early marriages we need to address poverty in our communities by empowering men and women and more the men."
