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 Margaret Jepkoech Kamar better questions — not to grade them.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to also support the Division of Revenue Bill agreement that was reached by the Mediation Committee. As most Members have said, we do it reluctantly because the speed with which the money is being raised for counties is still very slow. It...

Official Hansard sourceThank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir and Waziri, for the responses. I just wanted to ask a question on the actual teaching of the Grade 10s because this is a pioneer class. What is the situation as far as the technical courses are concerned? What timelines do we have for...
Official Hansard sourceSorry, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I was waiting for the second part of the question from the Cabinet Secretary on what happens next year. This is because if these big schools decided because of space to take the students, what happens next year? If they offload them, where will those children...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to join my colleagues in eulogising a very brave leader, Hon. Ng’eno.

Official Hansard sourceThank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support this beautiful piece of legislation. I would like to congratulate my dear sister, Sen. Veronica Maina, for proposing this Bill. This, as the Mover said, is not the first time that the Guaranteed Minimum Return was done. We...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand, unfortunately, under Standing Order No.41 because as Members have spoken very eloquently, this report is extremely important for all of us and I think the House should be full. I am therefore calling your attention to the fact that we have no...
