Hon. (Dr) Makali Mulu (Kitui Central, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just want to indulge you on this matter. This matter of expenditure as per Article 223 of the Constitution is a matter of national interest. That is why the Petitioner had petitioned Parliament so that the matter is...

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...
