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.
31 counted contributions in this Parliament, 2 of them in 2026.

Absolutely, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. If these gentlemen had not distracted you, the fundamental point I was making is that we have created a culture. The underlying statement was that stealing a goat worth Kshs7,000 is punished seriously. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) investigates it, they take it to...
