MULU MAKALI

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. Listening to the issues the Chairperson is...

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 looks at the Ministries, and this Report...

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 this. I cannot talk on behalf of...

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. Let us not harass Chairpersons in plenary...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is important we note the following before we even pass this Motion. Wednesday mornings are set for Private Members’ Bills and Motions. It means any time we want to change that arrangement, there must be a serious reason why we are doing it. I...

It is not a point of order. Hon. Ochieng’ is throwing a challenge and yet, Hon. Mwale is a ranking Member - a second-timer. Today morning was meant to be for Private Members Bills and Motions. And the three that have been mentioned are Government business, and should not be...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As you will realise, I have changed seats thrice because the intervention button in this row is not working. I wish our technical people can look into this because we are facing challenges. I want to thank Hon. Chepkong’a because, for the first...

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. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Leader of the Majority Party is very much...

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? There is a university body which checks...

I support, Hon. Temporary Chairman. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Omboko Milemba) : The Chairperson for the Departmental Committee on Education.

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 level institutions into universities and we...

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 Chairman (Hon. Omboko Milemba) : Hon. Chairman.

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 is a NG-CDF Act and Regulations which...

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 are some areas they do not agree...

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. Temporary Chairman, with all due respect, the clauses have been voted for. We have no problem...

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 anything here. We shall see how that...

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 want to start by supporting this important...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. For record purposes, my name is Makali Mulu, not Makalu or Makau. It is Makali. My apologies, Hon. Makali. 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...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I wanted to contribute to the Regional Development Authorities Bill. You can give that chance to somebody else.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to add my voice to the Natural Resources (Benefit Sharing) Bill. It is very important because this country is endowed with a lot of natural resources. Hon. Deputy Speaker, where I come from, Kitui, we have a lot of natural mineral resources, including...

Thank you very much Hon. Speaker. Let me start by thanking my Chairman for moving this important Motion. Before I get to the body of the Report on Consideration of the 2024 Medium-Term Debt Management Strategy, let me make some opening remarks. Hon. Speaker, first, I thank you, your Office,...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to start by thanking Hon. Mbadi and his Committee for bringing this Report. I was here when he was moving the Report. I listened to the cross-cutting issues. I am sure you are very much aware that you, Hon. Mbadi, Hon....

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I second the Procedural Motion. As the Chairperson has said, the whole idea behind the extension of time is to allow many stakeholders to input into this important document which will determine how much will be borrowed in this country. Bearing in mind the...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will be very brief. It is important that we put this on record. The mediated version of the Bill we are discussing talks about resources for this financial year. The financial year runs from July to June. If you look at the history of this...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The issue that has been raised by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and Planning is administrative in nature. He said that deducting the money might be tricky. What Hon. Nyikal has said makes a lot of sense. Deduction should only...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. As you have noted, I had inserted my card thinking that it was reflected at your end. Unfortunately, it was not. I will be brief. Amolo Odinga for agreeing to have this team sit. Secondly, I congratulate and thank the...
