Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support the amendment. This also came out during the Second Reading. We are enhancing accountability in insurance companies. I support the amendment. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Omboko Milemba) : Yes, Leader of the Majority Party....

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me also start by conveying my sympathies to the families that suffered the demolitions. You know it is a known fact that two wrongs do not make a right. If you look at the history...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I just wanted to thank the Committee for this important amendment to the Insurance Act. We all agree that insurance is very important in this country. Insurance is one of the key players in our economy. It provides a lot...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I have listened to the proposed amendments. I have concerns with the chairperson’s qualifications. While I agree that we need very specific qualifications for the chief executive officer (CEO) , the board is normally for policy and strategic direction. On...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. Unless we want to treat this Board as a very special board, boards normally operate with sub-committees. Boards have sub-committees. I am a Member of a board, so I am speaking from experience. Hon. Kaluma is saying that...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. How I wish that the Chairperson of the Committee could listen to the input of Members. As Members have said, this amendment is going to be suicidal to the medicine world. You have sat on that chair during...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Sorry. I am saying that it is supposed to provide an accountability framework for the insurance companies. We all know that the insurance sector is a very complicated sector for the lay person. Why am I saying this? You find most of us...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support the Insurance (Amendment) Bill. As the Mover and the Seconder have said, it is expected to provide an accountability framework for the insurance…

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. This matter of recruitment in this country is not new. I think it is not specific to the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury. This should be specific to all cabinet secretaries and principal secretaries. As a...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. We need to think seriously about this amendment. This is because it means here that any time a budget of the Board is changed, it will have to be presented to the National Assembly. We all...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chair. I think this amendment is very important. In my view, sensitive or personal health data belonging to individuals is something that this House must support so that we align ourselves to the Data Protection Act. I...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. As I support the Second Reading of this New Clause, it is important that we note a few things. Unless a Government institution is commercial in nature, it is not out there to make money. We are now...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. Some of us have been in this House for too long to appreciate some of the things we do. I want to give some statements of fact. When amendments come to this House, they can be carried by...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) It is important to go on record, Hon. Temporary Chairman. On the clause that we have just passed, I wish the Chairman would have done a further amendment to delete the word ‘earnings and accruals’ so that we align with the earlier deletion...

Hon (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I think my amendment is similar to Hon. Oluoch’s amendment. I plead with Hon. Members to listen to me, because this is important. We are saying that we want to outsource the claims payment issues. What will happen,...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support the amendment and the further amendment. Now that we have opened room for delegating, this is a lesser evil than the previous one. I support the amendments. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Hon. Nyikal.

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I wished to delete Clause 36 if my amendment to Clause 35 were carried. Having lost it to Clause 35, I wish to withdraw this amendment. (Proposed amendment to Clause 36 by Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu withdrawn) The...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. As I said yesterday, my concern is exactly what Hon. Oluoch has said. When you look at Paragraph 6 (i) , as you transfer cash and assets to the new Authority within the first one year, we do...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I really appreciate. I have been waiting for this opportunity for long. I want to be very brief so that you put the question. I had two concerns, but I am happy that when Hon. Nyikal spoke, my...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What I wanted to say is something I have said in this House many times. It relates to what Hon. Ichung’wah has said. This House started business at 2.30 p.m. this afternoon. The Report we are...
