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 Irene Muthoni Kasalu better questions — not to grade them.
10 counted contributions in this Parliament, 1 of them in 2026.
Named by other members: 24
Other members named Irene Muthoni Kasalu in 24 passages of debate across 12 sittings, by 11 different members.
This counts the times somebody else named Irene Muthoni Kasalu in debate. It is not a contribution — a contribution is something Irene Muthoni Kasalu said — and the two are never added together.
