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 Geoffrey Makokha Odanga better questions — not to grade them.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support this Bill on Licensing and Regulation of Agricultural and Livestock Professionals. This is a Bill that should have come much earlier. In the 1960s and 1970s, when Kenya’s agriculture and manufacturing sectors were booming, there were extension officers under the Ministry who did...
Official Hansard sourceOn a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to remind my son and the Member for Bumula that his impeachment Motion was not the first one post Constitution 2010. I sponsored one for the removal of Cabinet Secretary, Prof. Jacob Kaimenyi. Thank you, Hon. Speaker.
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Coming from Busia, where the team visited, I want to appreciate and thank them for the work they have done. Bringing out those challenges is quite critical and very important in terms of helping in improving the management of the NG-CDF by our committees and...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank Hon. Omanyo for coming up with the request for a statement. Administrative units were gazetted in 2017 and it has taken so long for the Government to operationalise them. Last December, I wrote and went to the Ministry of Interior and National Coordination. We...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Speaker. In the beginning, SHA had a lot of issues of registration, people accessing it and access to the health care services. However, today, when you move around the country side, you will find that many people who are members of SHA are now accessing the services...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support the Motion and thank Hon. Wangwe for moving it. It is true that PWDs in this country live under very difficult conditions. In the last Parliament, I asked the Cabinet Secretary a Question regarding registration of PWDs. The Question was placed...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Speaker. I extend my condolences to the families who lost their loved ones and pray for the swift recovery of those who were injured. We need to have an open conversation about this matter. The young people are speaking out, and they are doing so repeatedly. We...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Chairman. Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Education the following Question: Could the Cabinet Secretary:
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Speaker. The SNE institutions need to be considered as really special and given priority over the other institutions in the country. Looking at the numbers of pupils and students that are provided by the Cabinet Secretary, this comes to over 200,000 learners countrywide. I am not satisfied...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support this Motion as moved by Hon. Nabulindo. As he has already noted, sugarcane farming was the mainstay of many regions in the country, not only in the western region, but also in Nyanza and the Coast, which once had the Ramisi Sugar Factory....
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a matter that needs to be addressed seriously by the East African Community leadership. It happens over and over again. Most of the time, the Kenyan fishermen are arrested in Uganda and punished as it has been said. Some are kept in police cells...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Speaker. The Higher Education Loans Board has loans, scholarships and bursaries. The issue of bursaries has not been addressed. I would like to know whether it is still there or not. Nobody has talked about it. Going forward, I suggest that we will have to change our...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Motion is about integrating mental healthcare services in our health facilities. We already have a policy in place. We only need to strengthen it and ensure that it is implemented. The fact that we have many rehabilitation centres, schools and units show that we...
