Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for indulging me. I just wanted to share my experience on the matter which you have just directed on. I was once in that situation where I was not happy with the response from the Chairman...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I appreciate the Public Investments Committee on Commercial Affairs and Energy for this good Report.

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I can explain some scenarios that necessitate a Supplementary Budget for CFS expenditures. Hon. Members, you know well that most of our external debt is in foreign currency, such as dollars and euros. One of the reasons for...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, with all due respect… I think Members should listen to me. (Hon. Peter Kaluma spoke off the record) The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : Order, Hon. Kaluma. Let the Member for Kitui Central be heard in silence. Hon....

Hon. (Dr.) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady, we are discussing figures. I am sure we have not amended the whole Schedule. Why can we not be told what has been changed and what it is for, because we are discussing the Budget, not general things? We are...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you for this opportunity. I join my colleagues in commenting on this Fourth Generation Revenue Sharing Formula. As I do that and from the word go, I want to say that I would have opposed this formula if I was able to...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I join my colleagues in appreciating this Bill. Being a Senate Bill, it is of much interest to me. Our Constitution clearly states that the Senate exists to serve the interests of the...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) I support these incentives, but wish to make a few observations. If you look at our motor assembly industry and the construction sector, you will find significant monopolistic tendencies. This means that while tax incentives may exist, they may end up benefiting a...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, this is a very serious, but simple matter. By the time one is being auctioned, they have serious financial challenges. Imagine a situation where I am being auctioned, my car has been taken away and I am asked to pay...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. In an earlier clause, the Chairman reported that regulations were supposed to be done in six months, but they were not done. In terms of timeframe, is this realistic because we should not put a timeline that they...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, I wish the Chairperson would provide more details regarding his comment that the courts have declared it unconstitutional. Is it leading to discrimination? What is the issue? 18th June 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 27 Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central,...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you. New Clause 42C talks about the Defence Forces Welfare Services. There is an issue even though we supported the earlier amendment. There are things we used to call the Kenya Armed Forces Old Comrades Association (KAFOCA) out there. They are not...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Hon. Temporary Chairman, what the Chairperson is explaining makes a lot of sense, but the Bill says that: “Out of the fee collected under subsection (2) , 20 per cent shall be paid into a Fund established and managed in accordance with the...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central WDM) Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. You know we joined this House on the same day, and it is good to appreciate that 18th June 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 89 Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central WDM)being here three times is not...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. Even as I support this, I am a bit concerned that we are creating an additional fund. These funds have become so many in this country and some have outlived their usefulness. How I wish we could reduce...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I also support this amendment. In this country, we recognise that there are many private pension schemes. Before this amendment, we risked discriminating against some Kenyans. This amendment as it stands, covers every Kenyan. I support...
