OTHER DISCLAIMERS : i) Mzalendo acknowledges Parliament participation is just one of several indicators that can be used to judge performance. ii) Tom Kajwang's ( 1541 ) entries are inflated as the record includes his duties as Temporary Speaker iii) Entries of members with similar surnames e.g. Omondi cannot be ascertained as the hansard record does not always include their initials or forenames. iv) Entries linked to Ekwee Ethuro ( 1784 appearances ) do not count as he is the Speaker of the Senate
