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 Mohamed Abass Sheikh better questions — not to grade them.

Parliamentary Activity
Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Mine is a concern that, from the response of Waziri, some of the interventions outlined are on agriculture, forestry and fishing. Of course, the larger economy that is being driven by the livestock sector, where 10 million people are surviving on, has not been...
Official Hansard sourceMadam Temporary Speaker, I also want to join my colleagues in discussing issues in this report. First and foremost, I thank Members of the Mediation Committee for the struggle they made, but I have a rider on that. Allocation to counties, according to Article 203, is a constitutional right for...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support the statement by Sen. Hezena that the school feeding programme has been in existence for many years. It has helped many young children grow up and complete their studies. However, the programme has many challenges. The food does not reach every corner...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration on matters of national concern regarding the concerns of fairness, equity and national cohesion in the March, 2026 recruitment exercise conducted...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Speaker, Sir. My question is part of the previous question. Hon. Waziri, thank you for your passion and commitment in connecting power to all Kenyans. The last time you were in Wajir with His Excellency the President, we were promised that Wajir will be connected to the...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Speaker, I wish to submit the report of the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations for the period January to April 2026. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 56 (1) (b) to make a Statement on the activities of the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Mr Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would like to contribute to this Bill. First and foremost, it is a very important Bill. I support it. As has been said by many other colleagues, this Fund was initially meant to bring the marginalised counties at a par with other Kenyans....
Official Hansard sourceMr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to contribute on the statement regarding the integrated payroll that has been a concern for many years because there are counties that are still using manual payrolls and that creates opaque kind of payments and encourages corruption. Most employees who are under manual payrolls...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Honourable Speaker. I also join our colleague, Dr. Mundigi, regarding the unfortunate situation that has taken place in Embu. We have a similar case where a young man was shot at a barrier in Garissa some two days ago. This is the second incident in Garissa now. The...
