Ms Lesuuda is among nominated senators who have decided to ditch the Senate and seek to be elected into the more crowded and often unruly House, the National Assembly. Both Ms Lesuuda and Ms Korere see the National Assembly as better placed to make an impact on the lives of their people. Ms Lesuuda reckons that with the opportunity to fund the education of the youth through bursaries, she could give them the same chances that were given to her. For Ms Lesuuda, it was an attack at Serian FM offices where she had gone for an interview. Like Ms Lesuuda, she has also encountered physical threats.
