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 Namuar Joseph Emathe better questions — not to grade them.

Parliamentary Activity
Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation regarding the operationalisation of the Napetet Information Communication and Technology (ICT) Hub in Turkana Central Constituency. In 2018,...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank Hon. Gideon and the Committee for this response. As we speak, I have body parts: a hand and a leg in the morgue as a result of these crocodile attacks. The family is traumatised. The rising waters of Lake Turkana have forced crocodiles into...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Speaker. When you listen to such kind of reports about stalled projects under the Affordable Housing Programme, it is too unfortunate. This is because this is a levy which means money is available. Why should they delay paying and works stall? What are we communicating to Kenyans?...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I thought you were confusing me with Hon. Feisal. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Farah Maalim) : Yes, Hon. Feisal is behind you and the two of you look very alike. He has rubbed onto you some of his features. Proceed. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman....
Official Hansard sourceHon. Temporary Chairman, I thank you very much for welcoming the students, and I want to join you. I take a specific welcome note to the students from Tiaty Constituency. I am from Turkana County and they are from Baringo County. You are aware of what has been happening between...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Temporary Speaker, thank you. I want to thank Hon. Masara for his Request for a Statement and thank the Chairperson for the response. Having worked in Migori for three and a half years, I support that the bridge gets the utmost attention required. But joyriding on the same, allow...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Temporary Speaker, I rise to second this Motion on the consideration of the Petition regarding the variation of boundaries for three specified forests. As I do so, allow me to add my voice to the matter. I thank the Chairperson of the Committee for ensuring that this matter was...
Official Hansard sourceHon. Temporary Chairman, you rightly put it that if we omit the word "foreigners", we will only be collecting information on nationals. That is what you have ruled. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Peter Kaluma) : No. Hon. Member, first, that matter is spent. Secondly, the clause, as amended, will read:
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon Temporary Speaker. A kamukunji is growing up here, led by the Whip of the Majority Party. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Article 204 of the Constitution on ensuring that historically marginalised areas are also equalised in the development agenda is critical to our discussion. Allow me to...
Official Hansard sourceThank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wish to contribute to this amendment, Bill. Although some people assume that Turkana is devoid of forests, we have Loima Forest in Loima Constituency. This 13th Parliament has done a lot regarding climate change. If I may take note, this is the...
Official Hansard sourceAs of now, the Special Operations Group is in these areas. However, livestock theft and banditry are still going on the ground. Turkana East and Turkana South face the same issue. We wonder why we continue to lose lives and livestock despite the Government spending a lot to train the...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I congratulate the lady. At 22 years, this is remarkable. Keep it up. The Committee welcomes your idea. Actually, we are targeting to accomplish the 15 billion trees by 2036 and that work is already being done. At the Committee level, we are pushing the...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Hon. Speaker. First, I want to support and also acknowledge the fact that if it were not for devolution, some counties like Turkana would not have developed as they are today. However, the question that I remain asking even today is why the poverty index, for example, in...
