Makali Benson Mulu

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. While I support this amendment, I would want to go on record that the term of eight years is long for a secretary. How I wish that this joint team would have agreed to a term of three...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for your direction. We have keenly listened to you, but even before we approve the list, we need to go on record on one or two issues. The first issue is the time you gave us between the Motion...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM)Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. This definition is very good. Although, we need to be careful because in the past, we have seen people signed to be part of a coalition pretending to be political parties. So, as we define, it is important that...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The last proposal for the budget of this Committee to come from the Parliamentary Service Commission is quite a good idea. This is because there are situations where those committees are meeting and people are unable to earn...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) I think what the Chairperson is saying is a bit worrying. In my view, the fact that you had an opportunity to change this into more 2nd May 2024 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 35 Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM)imprisonment for a term...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you Hon. Speaker. I might have misplaced my card. My question is related to this issue. Although this question is specific to KUTRH, the bigger issue is the cost of treatment in this country, that is, medication, consultation and surgery.

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Now that the Cabinet Secretary is here, my question is this: Is there anything the Ministry is doing to bring down the cost of medication and treatment in the country? This is the bigger question,

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I also take this opportunity to welcome our colleagues from South Sudan who are here to interact with the Budget and Appropriations Committee, the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, and the Private Debt and Privatisation...

Hon (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have been keenly listening to the statistics that are being provided by the Chair of the Select Committee. While the statistics make a lot of sense in terms of where we are, I think there...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As you have rightly said, this matter concerns the implementation of the budget, which falls under the purview of the Budget and Appropriation Committee. It would be better if the Leader of the Majority Party followed up on...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, where I come from, they say there is always something if you see an old bull making some noise... The last time I checked, all departmental committees were chaired by the Majority Party. They all sit on the Liaison Committee....

Hon. (Dr.) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Actually, that is Order No.12. As I was saying, having listened to the Chairperson of the Committee and the Chairperson of PAC two weeks ago, you realise that many of the findings are similar. What worries me most is that the PAC Report...

Hon. (Dr.) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to add my voice to this important discussion. At the outset, I thank the Chairperson of the Special Funds Accounts Committee and its membership for bringing this important Report, which has just been presented....

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) I support, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Omboko Milemba) : The Chairperson for the Departmental Committee on Education.

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) It is very important, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I agree with all the explanations. However, we are saying “delete Public Service Commission”, and we are not saying “delete and replace with the Advisory Board”. Where is this Board captured in this law? The Temporary...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM)Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Chairman. Even as I agree with that withdrawal, it is important we go on record on this matter. One of the problems we have been facing as a country is a situation where we converted all our middle...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Yes. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I thank the Leader of the Majority Party for that explanation, which is now clear. I hope for purposes of standardisation; these specialised universities will still be under the oversight of the… Is it higher education something?...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Omboko Milemba) : At this particular level, there should be some debate. But let me hear the point of order from Hon. Makali Mulu. Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM)...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you Hon. Speaker. The matter raised by Hon. Jared Okello is very important. This year, our Select Committee on NG-CDF has let us down. This is the second time things have been done unprocedurally. The Board needs to be told that there...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, this new Clause 42 (b) will kill the whole Bill. The Constitution is very clear from what Hon. Otiende has just read. We are having a clause that is unconstitutional. It is unfortunate that we are not supposed to amend...

Hon (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Before we proceed, let me listen to Hon. Makali Mulu on what is out of order. (Loud consultations) Hon (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Hon. Temporary Chairman,...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to make my contribution to this Bill which has been forwarded to us by the Senate. I have listened to the Mover and the Seconder. They suggest that even though there...

Hon. (Dr.) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. For record purposes, my name is Makali Mulu, not Makalu or Makau. It is Makali.

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this important Bill. I was prepared to contribute yesterday, but time did not allow it. I am happy that I now have the opportunity. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I...

Hon. (Dr.) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) I represent the good people of Kitui Central. I will be very brief. I want to start by thanking the Hon. Chairman and the Committee for this excellent Report with excellent recommendations. The weakest link in this House is our Committee on Implementation....
