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 Mungatana Danson Buya better questions — not to grade them.
