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 KAUNYA EDWARD OKU better questions — not to grade them.
18 counted contributions in this Parliament, 3 of them in 2026.
Named by other members: 17
Other members named KAUNYA EDWARD OKU in 17 passages of debate across 9 sittings, by 6 different members.
This counts the times somebody else named KAUNYA EDWARD OKU in debate. It is not a contribution — a contribution is something KAUNYA EDWARD OKU said — and the two are never added together.
