Published on July 8, 2020
Two Members of Parliament, Oscar Sudi (Kapseret) and Samuel Arama (Nakuru Town West), have failed to make any contributions in the National Assembly since 2017, a report by Mzalendo Trust has revealed.
The Parliamentary Scorecard, released on Wednesday morning, highlighted the poor performance of the two legislators, saying their inactivity undermines the role of the House.
According to the report, a total of 21 legislators made no contribution in 2019, with 19 of them being men. The silent male MPs include Abdi Tepo (Isiolo South), Abdi Shurie (Balambala), Ahmed Gaal (Tarbaj), and several others.
The report also ranked the best performing male MPs at the National Assembly as David Sankok (Nominated), Wilberforce Ojiambo (Funyula), Robert Pukose (Endebess), and Benson Makali (Kitui Central).
On the other hand, the leading voices at the Senate were Ledama Ole Kina (Narok), Moses Wetangula (Bungoma), Aaron Cheruiyot (Kericho), Ochilo Ayako (Migori), and Getrude Musuruve (Nominated).
According to the report, the aggregate performance of the 12th Parliament's 3rd Session was the lowest, with only 21% of Bills passed in the National Assembly being assented to.
