Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I also thank Hon. Kimilu for bringing this important Bill on social workers.

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As you have said, I think it is worth noting that these reports are discussed in committees. Being the Vice-Chair of the Public Debt and Privatisation Committee, it is important to state that the Report on...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM)With the eCitizen issue the Leader of the Majority Party has raised, I wonder why we should use the word “submit”. Can they just go to the records and get information? I would suggest you substitute the word “submit” with something else. It is...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) I have just listened to the Leader of the Majority party and he is talking about a section of Clause 25. The Order Paper states deletion of the whole clause. He needs to be clear.

Hon (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support this amendment or this new clause because as it has been said, it will assist manufacturing to go down on the ground. I am very interested, particularly, in my 4th December 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This outcry is real, more so in public schools. What is very critical is the timing.

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Hon. Speaker, the Ksh5 billion that you mentioned is part of the arrears. The Cabinet Secretary is saying that by releasing the Ksh5 billion, he will have cleared it 100 per cent. In my constituency, I have nothing pending, but I am owed...
