Makali Benson Mulu

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) I have realised that when serious brains of this House start to make comments, we get these kinds of points of order so that you disorganise us, not to push our agenda. I do not know why my friend Hon. Kimani keeps on...

Hon (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Actually, what I was saying is that I am aware of what is written here but I am looking at decision-making in a corporate entity where you have shareholders. How is it done? It will get to a point where shareholders will have...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you. I also want to add my voice to the Sessional Paper No. 3 of 2025. I appreciate the extensive public participation conducted over this Sessional Paper. I have looked at the report. I would not wish to dwell on the models....

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) The more you listen to these reports, the more you get annoyed as a Kenyan. The Commodities Fund objectives are very important to this country because it is supposed to assist our farmers to access farm inputs and resources to improve their farming...

Hon (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. You can see I had to relocate from my desk. I do not know what has happened to my system. Somebody went there and did funny things. I can no longer access the system. The Temporary Speaker...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to second the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 2 of 2026) . As my Chairman has indicated, the Bill focuses on the vertical sharing of national revenue and is informed...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much Hon. Chairlady. As I support this amendment, we need to be cautious because from July, we will move to a single National Treasury account. We know what that means. It is being phased out. We may need to check...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wanted to raise a constitutional issue. I think our Standing Orders allow us to interrupt debate at any point so long as you are raising a constitutional issue. I really appreciate the explanation by the Chairperson and...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you very much, Hon. Chairlady. I support this amendment for the reason we gave yesterday that we need to appreciate that this money will form part of our public debt. I support.

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I will start by appreciating the Departmental Committees and the Budget and Appropriations Committee, where I sit, for looking at this important policy document. This being a policy document, it focuses more on policy direction...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I thank the Chairperson of the Committee for this amendment because the original wording of the Bill would have caused confusion. I am very happy to see that the CEO of the Fund will also be the Administrator...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I think you had better listen to this. We had agreed that we needed to define ‘catalytic national infrastructure’. I think it is important. At what point do we do that?

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) I have no issue with this. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : Hon. (Dr) Oundo.

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I have looked at this amendment and I have also looked at Clause 2. I think it would be important for such a term as “catalytic” to be defined for purposes of clarity. When I look at Clause 2,...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai) : What is out of order, Hon. Makali Mulu? Hon. Members, I would like us to make progress. Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Hon. Temporary Chairlady,...

Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to state some facts. The truth of the matter is that this country faces challenges with public borrowing. Actually, last year we almost defaulted and considered debt restructuring. The other point is that we require infrastructure, especially...

Hon (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I join my colleagues in mourning our late brother. On my behalf, my family and the good people of Kitui Central, I send my deepest condolences to the family. I joined this House for the first time on the...
