What these numbers don’t measure
- Committee work
- Parliament publishes no committee attendance for either House, so nobody can count it — us included.
- Constituency work
- Funerals, harambees, schools, casework. Recorded nowhere we can read.
- Whether it worked
- We can count questions asked, not answers given.
- Speaking often isn’t speaking well. Use these to ask Martha Wangari better questions — not to grade them.

Named by other members: 122
Other members named Martha Wangari in 122 passages of debate across 77 sittings, by 29 different members.
This counts the times somebody else named Martha Wangari in debate. It is not a contribution — a contribution is something Martha Wangari said — and the two are never added together.

Serjeant-at-Arms, ring the Hon. Murwithania, you are out of order. You cannot withdraw from the Chamber when the Quorum Bell is ringing. Serjeant-at-Arms, we will do another five minutes. (The Quorum Bell was rung) Hon. Members, we will begin the proceedings of the House. We will start with Papers and,...
Official Hansard sourceNext Order. QUESTIONS AND STATEMENTS There are some Statements to be requested, but first allow me to recognise, in the Speaker’s Gallery, a visiting delegation from Alternative Provision for Basic Education (APBET) from Mathare Constituency, Nairobi County. (Applause)
Official Hansard sourceYes, you will, Member for Mathare, but first let me also congratulate you for bringing the Bill to this House. I remember that during the 12th Parliament, you were very vigorous in championing for it. It applies to very many aspects, including the right to getting food to the community...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Tongoyo, this Request for Statement is referred to your Committee.
Official Hansard sourceHon. Mwago, do you want to comment on the same?
Official Hansard sourceYou have made your point, Hon. Mwago. This was Hon. Oluoch’s Request for Statement. Hon. Tongoyo, yesterday you indicated that your scheduled meeting with the Cabinet Secretary and the security organs did not take off. You can include these issues in the agenda. On this specific matter, you will issue...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Tongoyo, again, this Request for Statement is referred to your Committee. Also, note that this is not the first time the issue of Gikomba fires has been brought to the House. It is a recurrent issue. As you seek a response, also address the recurrence element of this matter.
Official Hansard sourceWe will have the response in the first week upon resumption from recess. Let us hear Hon. Mwago.
Official Hansard sourceHon. Mwago, you have already made your point. I have ruled on when a response should be brought. I have guided the Chairperson on Article 125 of the Constitution, which gives him the ability to summon any person to appear before the Committee to provide information. Also, Article 189 of...
Official Hansard sourceThis is a very thorny issue not just in Kuresoi. Hon. Toroitich, do you want to ride on it?
Official Hansard sourceHon. Members, let us keep it short. You have made your point, Hon. Agnes. Member for Nyando, I want to bring this matter to a close.
Official Hansard sourceI cannot see the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Energy, Hon. Gikaria. Is the Vice-Chairman or any Member of the Committee present? Hon. Sunkuli actually spoke to the main issue because the quality affects all of us. In fact, Hon. Tonui, I was starting to think it is a...
Official Hansard sourceI am told there is a Member of the Committee. Do you have something to say, Hon. Odege?
Official Hansard sourceWe expect the Statement in the first week on resumption. Hon. Members, be here to interrogate the Statement. If it is not sufficient, we will cause the Cabinet Secretary to appear here to deal with that issue. Next Order. THE KENYA INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS (AMENDMENT) BILL COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to report that the Committee of the whole House has considered the County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.25 of 2023) and approved the same with amendments.
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This has been a very engaging debate because it is not just about the present. Since the introduction of devolution, a lot has changed. However, one thing that has been constant in the counties is the wage bill. We appropriate billions of shillings to county...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Members, I see a few Members intend to ride on this. I cannot see the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education. He was still missing in the morning. Hon. Vice-Chairperson? Is there any Member? I see a few Members. Kindly take note.Hon. Deputy Speaker.
Official Hansard sourceI fully agree with you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. As Hon. Members representing Utumishi, we had many of these issues when the issue was hot. I agree that sometimes we just react and then let it die off because we are yet to know exactly the findings of the multi-sectoral team....
Official Hansard sourceHon. Members, let us also realise that this is not a debate. It is a Request for a Statement. If you get an opportunity to ride on it, do it for about 30 seconds. Hon. Maungu.
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I thank Hon. Member for West Mugirango for bringing this issue to the Floor of the House, as the latest victim of these fires in Gilgil. I also appreciate you and other Members who took the time to come to Utumishi Girls...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for indulging me. This is a recurrent issue in this House. We have spoken about the periodic updating of this register. These issues are everywhere, even in Gilgil. You get 70-year-olds who are not in the system. Some were removed, and I do not know...
Official Hansard sourceOrder, Hon. Wangwe. Hon. Kalasinga, you are out of order. You know what to do. (Hon. Majimbo Kalasinga spoke off the record) No. You know what to do. Hon. Wangwe, continue.
Official Hansard sourceHon. Wainaina. Give the Member for Othaya the microphone.
Official Hansard sourceVery well. There being no further interest in this Motion, I call upon the Mover to reply.

Official Hansard sourceThe Leader of the Majority Leader, your request has been acceded to. Therefore, Hon. Members, consideration of the Kenya Revenue Authority (Amendment) Bill is stayed to a later date. The Order Paper is also reordered to begin with the Parliamentary Pensions (Amendment) Bill, followed by the Kenya National Library Service...
Official Hansard sourceSerjeant-at-Arms, ring the Quorum Deputy Leader of the Majority Party, you have some Papers.
Official Hansard sourceI did not know you were the one being referred to. How did you know he was referring to you? I was not aware. Hon. Owen, to whom are you referring?
Official Hansard sourceIt is not known to me who Member No. 15 is. Before you go to item No. 3, the Papers on the Draft Privileges and the Legal Notices need to be committed. I commit them to the Committee on Delegated Legislation. You may continue with the others that do not...
Official Hansard sourceThe ICT team kindly look into the microphones, including the Speaker’s. Before I give the Floor to the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health, allow me, Hon. Members, to recognise learners in the House from various institutions. There is considerable traffic of learners waiting behind the Chamber to access...
Official Hansard sourceVery well. Learners and teachers who are visiting us today are welcome. Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Health, has a Paper to lay on the Table of the House. Hon. Nyikal, Hon. Wuod(Laughter)
Official Hansard sourceVery well. Chairperson, Budget and Appropriations Committee! I do not see him around. That will be stepped down. He will lay the Papers later. Next Order. NOTICE OF MOTION ADOPTION OF REPORT ON MANAGEMENT OF HAEMOPHILIA AND OTHER BLEEDING DISORDERS Hon. Nyikal.
Official Hansard sourceVery well. Next Order. QUESTIONS AND STATEMENTS REQUESTS FOR STATEMENTS MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF BABY SHERLY GATUMI MUGENDI The first chance will go to the Members requesting Statements. Member for Tharaka, Hon. Murugara.
Official Hansard sourceChairperson, Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security! Vice-Chairperson, will you respond to the Statement?
Official Hansard sourceHon. Raso, the good thing is that you are the Vice-Chairman of the Committee that is responsible for this matter. So, you will have the chance to prosecute it. I agree with Hon. Murugara and you that the issue of missing children, defilement and murder of children is rising. As...
Official Hansard sourceWe expect a preliminary response on 2nd July 2026 next week. That is in order. Hon. Kamket, do you want to contribute on the same Statement?
Official Hansard sourceHon. Kamket, you can also raise your concern because the Chairman has indicated that the Cabinet Secretary and the security agencies will appear before the Committee this week. You have not raised this issue on the Floor of the House officially. Liaise with the Chairman of the Committee. You can...
Official Hansard sourceVery well. You have made your point, Hon. Owen. I have indulged you because this is a topical issue. It is a matter of concern. As a country, we must do something about it. Hon. Tongoyo and his team can hear the sentiments of Members. We expect a better report...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Mulyungi will be the last Member to contribute on this Statement.
Official Hansard sourceHon. Chairman, you have your work cut out. There are some issues that Hon. Millie has raised, which require a desktop review because the prosecution and the Judiciary all tie together. If someone is suspected of killing a child and the matter does not reach a conclusive end through imprisonment...
Official Hansard sourceKindly make timely communication to the affected Members for planning purposes. The next Request for a Statement is by the Member for Saboti. Are you in the House? AWARD OF FOREIGN SCHOLARSHIPS TO KENYAN STUDENTS
Official Hansard sourceChairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education is not in the House. What about the Vice-Chairperson?

Official Hansard sourceFirst week after we resume. Hon. Amina. STATE OF ELECTRICITY INFRASTRUCTURE IN MALINDI CONSTITUENCY

Official Hansard sourceWe will now indulge the Member for Kilgoris. INSECURITY AT ANGATA BARRIKOI IN KILGORIS CONSTITUENCY
Official Hansard sourceHon. Members, I know this is a live matter. I will give chance to a few Members who want to ride on that Statement. Before that, like I had indicated earlier, we have a lot of learners visiting us today. Allow me to recognise, in the Speaker's Gallery, students from:...

Official Hansard sourceHon. Raso. (Hon. David Keter raised his hand) Member for Emurua Dikirr, I am only indulging you because you are new in the House. I know that this matter affects you. Because you are new here, I will give you a minute.

Official Hansard sourceVery well. Hon. Murugara, are you satisfied? Do you have any follow-up questions?
Official Hansard sourceHon. Raso, you have heard the Member's concerns.
Official Hansard sourceHon. Murugara, the Vice-Chairman, has spoken for you, and that also begs the question of why we present half-baked responses from the Cabinet Secretaries. I have also heard that the Committee is meeting with the Cabinet Secretary on several issues. This should form part of it so that you receive...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Murugara, you have made your point. Hon. Tongoyo and your team, the meeting with the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Interior and National Administration as well as the security agencies, is quite critical. Alert the Members in good time so that they can attend and prosecute their matters...

Official Hansard sourceYou have made your point. Hon. Ngikolong, proceed. Nicholas Ng’ikor (Turkana East, JP) : Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The request for Statement by Hon. Kamket, and the way Hon. Justice has put it, reminds us of the reason as to why the Equalisation Fund was included in the Constitution...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Members, I know this is a thorny issue. That is why I have indulged a few of you. Please, do not make long speeches. I will give opportunity to Hon. Lochakapong.
Official Hansard sourceMember for Chepalungu, are you holding brief for the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning?
Official Hansard sourceHon. Members, I have indulged many of you, and I know this is a thorny issue. I still see some interest. Please, keep it very short because I want you to ride on the question by Hon. Kamket so that we get to the end of this problem. It has...
Official Hansard sourceYou have made your point. I had already directed that you will be the last one. Hon. Members we have had enough representation of the Members. This matter has become repetitive. Hon. Kamket, you are the owner of the Statement. What is out of order?
Official Hansard sourceWe are headed there, Hon. Kamket, because we have indulged very many Members and I see there is still a lot of interest in this matter. This Statement will not do justice if it is just going to speak about Baringo or to Hon. William Kamket’s question. So, even as...
Official Hansard sourceThat is reasonable so that we do not get any excuse for him not to appear. The first, or, latest, second week after recess will do. Hon. Members, let us also endeavour to be in the House when that is communicated. Those questions that you are asking, that will be...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Makali Mulu, that is a fair question. Give me some time as we move to Order No. 8. We will give you a response on the same. Next Order. THE SUPPLEMENTARY APPROPRIATION (NO. 2) BILL Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee.

Official Hansard sourceFor Hon. Makilap to say you will be a future president?
Official Hansard sourceOrder, Hon. Members! Hon. Gisairo, Hon. Osoro is not on his feet. You rose on a point of order to say that Hon. Makilap should not say you will be a future president. That is not out of order. Hon. Makilap, kindly wind up.
Official Hansard sourceMembers for Funyula and Kajiado West, your interventions are not on this. Hon. Members, if you want to speak to this Bill, indicate in the intervention button because Hon. Members have logged in. Use the intervention because so many of you are listed and you do not intend to speak...
Official Hansard sourceHold on, Hon. (Eng.) Nzengu. Take your seat for a minute. There is a point of order from the Member for Endebess.
Official Hansard sourceIt is not in Murang’a. Get your facts right. Hon. (Eng) Paul Nzengu (Mwingi North, WDM) : Let me correct myself. It is the Northern Collector Tunnel, which is in Murang’a. When we visited that project, it was the same story of the host community not benefiting from the project...
Official Hansard sourceOrder, Members. We agreed that shouting will not sort out our issues. I am very fair and I will give every person a chance to speak. (Hon. Onesmus Ngogoyo stood up in his place) Order, Hon. Ngogoyo. Take your seat. (Hon. Onesmus Ngogoyo spoke off the record) Hon. Ngogoyo, I...

Official Hansard sourceHon. Kalasinga, what is out of order? (Hon. Onesmus Ngogoyo spoke off the record) It is not only you, Hon. Ngogoyo, who is raising a point of order. Other Members are also raising points of order. I will indulge Hon. Kalasinga first.
Official Hansard sourceHon. Ngogoyo, I know there is a lot of confusion about what happened yesterday and what is going on today. Be guided that yesterday was the Report which is very different from what we are dealing with today. This Bill has just been moved today. Yesterday, it was something different....
Official Hansard sourceHon. Members, I need to clarify to the House on something. Yesterday’s Motion was: The Consideration of the Supplementary Estimates for the Financial Year 2025/2026, general debate: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on the consideration of the same. So, even the Members who...
Official Hansard sourceWe are doing very well. I will now give the chance to the Member for Suba South, Hon. Caroli.
Official Hansard sourceVery well, Hon. Members. There is a lot of interest in this matter. Kindly do not raise your hands. I can see you on the screen. If Members keep their contributions brief, a lot of us will speak. Hon. Member for Kitui Central, Hon. Makali Mulu.
Official Hansard sourceOrder, Hon. Rutto. Hon. Members, we had done very well. Hon. Makali Mulu, treat that as a point of information which you have not agreed to. Continue with your submission. It is a point of debate.
Official Hansard sourceHon. Member for Mavoko. He seems not to be in. Let us have the Member for Kitui rural.
Official Hansard sourceHon. Members, order. You cannot purport to do the Speaker's job at all. Hon. Member for Kitui Rural, you are on the Floor. Hon. David Mwalika (Kitui Rural, WDM) : I have been seated here since yesterday, but I will request Members to look at the clauses critically. Being a...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Member for Soy, you have made your point. I have not heard what is really out of order. Member for Kigumo, did you mislead the House on the matter Member for Soy has raised?
Official Hansard sourceHon. Munyoro, I am engaging you because I heard you, but I also heard the Member for Soy. What you are saying is that the debate we are having right now does not hold any water yet it is also in our mandate as a House. I think that is...
Official Hansard sourceThat is in order, please, continue with your submissions. (Hon. Wanami Wamboka consulted loudly) Hon. Wamboka you are shouting that someone is raising his or her voice. Everyone is shouting and sometimes, even the Temporary Speaker is unable to hear exactly what to rule on. Can we just have decorum?...
Official Hansard sourceOrder, Hon. Members. A Member’s point of information must be accepted. You do not have to impute improper motive on your colleague. Just refuse the information.
Official Hansard sourceHon. Members, Order. Order, Hon. Chepkonga. Do not shout across the aisle. I have already said that you cannot be shouting. My screen is full with many names of Members who want to contribute, but we keep wasting time on non-issues. If you rise on a point of order, make...
Official Hansard sourceMember for Kesses, a point of information has to be accepted. Hon. Munyoro, do you want to be informed? Hon. Rutto, you said it is a point of information. Hon. Member for Kesses, I am indulging you because you are the Vice-Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National...
Official Hansard sourceYou have made your point. Members, please, stick to matters that we are able to substantiate.
Official Hansard sourceOrder, Member for Kigumo. The Members on my left have also been interfering with the Members on the other side. On the other hand, points of order raised under Standing Order 83 are legitimate and allowed. Kindly complete your submission.
Official Hansard sourceVery well. Finally, from my left, let us have the Member for Makueni. Thereafter, we will go to the other side.
Official Hansard sourceYou have made your point. Proceed, Member for Makueni. (Loud consultations)
Official Hansard sourceHon. Members, that demonstrates how readily you accept information without first hearing who is offering it. Hon. Wamboka, you have the Floor.
Official Hansard sourceOrder, Hon. Members. (Hon. Antoney Kibagendi stood up in his place) Take your seat, Hon. Kibagendi.
Official Hansard sourceHon. Wamboka, Hon. Ndindi cannot inform you. You are not on the Floor. Proceed, Hon. DK.
Official Hansard sourceOrder. Hon. Members, I know we have very many views about so many issues. However, I beg you. There is a Member on the Floor who has accepted to be informed by Hon. Wamboka, but he said exactly what Hon. Susan said. He repeated what she had said. So, allow...
Official Hansard sourceYou have accepted the information. Member for Kiharu, proceed.
Official Hansard sourceOrder, Hon. Ndindi Nyoro. You have made your point. The reason I have allowed Hon. Suzanne to make her point is because I am inclined to allow many Members to speak because we are here for that debate. Hon. Members, my screen is still full. If we agree to make...
Official Hansard sourceYour time is up, Member for Makueni. Hon. Members, before I give the next Member the Floor, allow me to recognise students from Siwot Girls Senior School from Kuresoi South Constituency, Nakuru County, seated in the Speaker's Gallery. On my behalf, that of the House and your Member of Parliament,...
Official Hansard sourceOrder, Members. Shouting does not add value to debate. Hon. Members, a Member has risen in his place and requested that the Speaker put the Question that the Mover be called upon to reply. I will now put that question. (Question, that the Mover be called upon to reply, put...
Official Hansard sourceYou cannot purport to request a division without meeting the required threshold. If you do so, you know the numbers required. (Loud consultations)(Loud consultations)(Loud consultations)(Loud consultations)(Loud consultations)
Official Hansard sourceOrder, Hon. Members. Our Standing Orders are very clear. The rise for Division was defeated because the Members on their feet were 14 against a required number of 30. The Mover has replied and I will, therefore, put the question. (Several Members spoke off the record) You do not need...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Members, we have counted the Members on their feet. They are 27. That request is, therefore, declined.

Published by:...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Chairlady. I agree with the Leader of the Majority Party. I feel Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) has 'suffered' the problem of being efficient. That is why they are being poached to do everything. I confirm that, as a Committee, we have done very serious oversight. We have...
