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 Martin Peters Owino better questions — not to grade them.
Committee Membership
- Member of the Health committee.
- Member of the National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity committee.
- Member of the Public Investments Committee on Social Services Administration and Agriculture committee.
