Makali Mulu

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support this Motion. But even as we support it, a few things must go on record. If you look at this House Calendar, it is only Wednesday morning where individual Members can have a Bill...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to add my voice to this important debate on the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 2 of 2025) . At the outset, it is important...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Basically, Hon. Temporary Speaker, anytime you talk to them, they say they are unable to agree with the State Department for Public Works which designs and implements the projects. They always claim that there is that delay. I also suspect that the other...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I also support this amendment more so on the basis of the independence of the Auditor-General. It is important to uphold separation of powers. This being a constitutional office, it is important that we get officers who are...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, thank you very much. I do not know whether what I am about to say would be procedural or I should say it later, but I thought that with this progressive amendment coming from the Departmental Committee on Finance and...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I appreciate this new clause. The earlier amendment was to create a human resource function in the Office of the Auditor-General. Now that we have created that function, it is important that we have a directorate...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Yes, thank you so much. This excellent amendment has made my day. The money we appropriate for the security sector in this country is such a huge amount that it does not make sense for it to go unaudited. I want to share...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. While I support this amendment, it is important that we consider not only the existing structure in the Office of the Auditor-General but also best practices. This is not a stand-alone office; there are similar offices...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I also want to support the amendment bringing in competitive outsourcing. We must allow outsourcing in the Office of the Auditor-General. At times and more so when conducting a forensic audit, the Auditor-General may require some specialised expertise...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. This is a very important amendment. I support it because all along, the Auditor-General has been so keen on the financial performance of institutions. In this House, we have the Committee on National Cohesion and Equal...
