National Assembly during a past session.
A year after Kenyans went to the ballot to elect various political leaders, 15 Members of Parliament have not uttered a word on the floor of the house.
According to the 13th parliament first scorecard released by Mzalendo Trust, a non-partisan entity that keeps an eye on Kenyan Parliament, there are MPs who have not made their maiden speeches.
Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi, his Makadara counterpart George Aladwa Nakuru Town West MP Samwel Arama have not uttered a word in Parliament since their election on August 9, 2022.
Others who have also not spoken a year since being elected are Charles Gimose (Hamisi), Feisal Bader (Msambweni), Innocent Momanyi (Bobasi) and Mohamed Soud (Mvita) and Fred Kapondi (Mt Elgon).
Those who have not yet made their maiden speeches include Kasarani MP Ronald Karauri, his Mvita counterpart Mohamed Soud, Rongai’s Paul Chebor and Vihiga MP Ernest Kagesi.
Others are Joseph Iraya (nominated), Teresia Wanjiru (nominated), Elizabeth Kailemia (Meru County Woman MP), and Muthoni Marubu (Meru County MP).
Mzalendo Trust, which monitors Parliamentary activity, based its findings on Hansard records from September 29, 2022, to June 30, 2023.
