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 Gideon Ochanda better questions — not to grade them.

Hon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I can confirm that I attended the Committee meetings where these responses were being done. I am fairly satisfied in certain respects, particularly regarding compensation issues and the arrangements and details provided for compensation. However, there is a problem with the...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) I believe haitakuwa tofauti na “skrini”. (Laughter) 29th April 2026 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 43 Hon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM)itself to increase funding for the subsequent years; this would bring order to the schools. At the moment, we face a serious problem, and I am uncertain...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, there is a risk that if you are too careful, you will not speak Swahili well, unlike Hon. Kimani, who volunteered to speak. The cancer menace knows no age, gender, wealth, or poverty. It is with us, and we must recognise it...
Official Hansard sourceHon. (Dr) Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, the name Daniel is not mine. For record purposes, I am Gideon. But Ochanda is surely my name. If a stranger came to this country and asked which areas you would find communities fighting one another over cattle rustling and grazing...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Official Hansard sourceHon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I support this Bill. It is a big anomaly in this country that we talk about the Inspector- General of Police, who is the Head of National Police Service (NPS) , without talking about the issue of...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Hon. Speaker, the Prime Cabinet Secretary brought up the issue of criteria which is good, but he did not give us the process of identification. There are criteria, but he also alluded to some application at one stage. Do people or communities apply and what...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We always say that once functions are clearly defined, what must follow is the ability to perform those functions through financing. There is no reason for an independent public office that has latitude to do its work not to have...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I believe the amendment is spot on. Those of us who have been here for a while will remember that up to 1987, there was a bit of order in terms of training progression in this country. This was particularly...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.
Official Hansard sourceHon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Nothing is really out of order. I just need to take a rider on Hon. Mwalyo’s request. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) Okay. I allow you one minute. Hon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Mhe. Mwalyo is placing the...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have known Florence for an additional five years on top of the years she has been serving in Parliament.

Official Hansard sourceHon. Gideon Ochanda (Bondo, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Report of the Committee. I want to say two things.
