Hezena is said to only have spoken 21 times.

Reacting on her Facebook page, Senator Hezena said that actions are better than words.

"Ignore that ranking. It is based on who are the loudest noisemakers in the house and all of us cannot be parrots. I speak only when necessary," she said.

The report by Mzalendo Trust, its first scorecard of the 13th Parliament stated that the three senators spoke less than 27 times.
