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 Omar Mariam Sheikh better questions — not to grade them.

194 counted contributions in this Parliament, 34 of them in 2026.
Named by other members: 233
Other members named Omar Mariam Sheikh in 233 passages of debate across 87 sittings, by 42 different members.
This counts the times somebody else named Omar Mariam Sheikh in debate. It is not a contribution — a contribution is something Omar Mariam Sheikh said — and the two are never added together.
Counted in both Houses, because each chamber discusses the other's members: 232 in the Senate, 1 in the National Assembly.

Official Hansard sourceSorry, Madam Temporary Speaker. I had not seen the change of Speakers. I want to condole with Utumishi Girls School. Children belong to the society.
