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 Ogolla better questions — not to grade them.

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 intervention. What is given at...
Official Hansard sourceI believe haitakuwa tofauti na “skrini”. (Laughter) 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 how we will deal with it.This situation partly arises because field officers are no longer doing...
Official Hansard sourceHon. 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 and approach it with the...
Official Hansard sourceHon. 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 land, they would get the information...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Tourism and Wildlife regarding the persistent and escalating crocodile menace along the Lower Yala River, particularly in Yimbo North and...
Official Hansard sourceHon. 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 is the process like before...
Official Hansard sourceThank 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 funds. I support this Motion...
Official Hansard sourceThank 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 evident under the A-level education...
Official Hansard sourceNothing is really out of order. I just need to take a rider on Hon. Mwalyo’s request. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Mhe. Mwalyo is placing the request correctly in terms of doing bumps for purposes of speed control. However, I generally have a problem with how we keep interfering...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Report of the Committee. I want to say two things. Banks have dealt with many problems in the last 10 years. They forward these problems to individual account users. They come up with all manner of restrictions, in terms of...
