Mulu Makali

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. On behalf of the good people of Kitui Central, I convey my deepest condolences to the family of Hon. Injendi Malulu and the family of Senator Cheptumo. I had a chance to work with Hon. Cheptumo for two terms and three terms with Hon....

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is my input on this issue. Everybody who sits in this House swore to defend and protect the Constitution. As it is, the courts have given a ruling and I have not seen anybody in this House table a stay order to say that things...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Let me also join my colleagues in supporting this Motion. However, I want to make three observations as I support it. The first one is that the public service in this country is facing a number of challenges, and I hope that this new...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As you have said, I think it is worth noting that these reports are discussed in committees. Being the Vice-Chair of the Public Debt and Privatisation Committee, it is important to state that the Report on Privatisation by the Privatisation Commission which has...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I think this morning there was a very detailed Communication from the Hon. Speaker in terms of what has happened to this important Bill. What is interesting is that the President has assented to the Division of Revenue Bill, which now becomes an...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I join my Chairman in appreciating those who have been involved in this process. It has not been easy to get to where we are today. I thank the Senate, the National Assembly and the mediation Committee for ensuring that we have this...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to thank the Committee for the vetting process and their Report. I have listened to the Mover and Seconder, and they have prosecuted their case well; more so the Seconder. The way the Whip of the Majority Party has presented this...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This outcry is real, more so in public schools. What is very critical is the timing. The timing was wrong because most of these public schools have been supported by the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) . And even when we look at the budgeting...

No, I am a Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, but this is my area. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Farah Maalim) : Go ahead. The Committee had the benefit of doing public participation. I request the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Ichung’wah, that we go by the Committee’s...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support this amendment. I agree with the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning because this is one most abused clauses in terms of information. We have a Data Protection Act which protects all Kenyans, including those who borrow...

I have just listened to the Leader of the Majority party and he is talking about a section of Clause 25. The Order Paper states deletion of the whole clause. He needs to be clear.

With the eCitizen issue the Leader of the Majority Party has raised, I wonder why we should use the word “submit”. Can they just go to the records and get information? I would suggest you substitute the word “submit” with something else. It is readily available digitally.(Title agreed to)(Question, that...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support this amendment or this new clause because as it has been said, it will assist manufacturing to go down on the ground. I am very interested, particularly, in my county, Kitui. We want to see more companies investing there. The proposed...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I join my colleagues in appreciating the work that has gone into the preparation of this Bill, all the way from the National Treasury to our own Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. This Bill entails making tax payment...

Hon. Speaker, the Ksh5 billion that you mentioned is part of the arrears. The Cabinet Secretary is saying that by releasing the Ksh5 billion, he will have cleared it 100 per cent. In my constituency, I have nothing pending, but I am owed Ksh15 million. That is the situation.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I agree with Hon. Nyikal. The best way to move the Bill would be to move it as it is and state what the Committee is proposing as amendments. Otherwise, we will get confused. We are looking at the Bill, but...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for your consideration. I really appreciate this opportunity. First of all, I thank the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for this Bill. We wanted to know the original and the proposed amendments so that we appreciate what the Committee has done. I want...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. That amendment is very important and, more so, when you fix the time in which money must be paid. That is because there have been unnecessary delays in those payments.Hon. Temporary Chairman, I support. The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Omboko Milemba): Hon. Wamuchomba.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that the Parliamentary Pensions (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 5 of 2023) be now read a Second Time. I want to start by appreciating the opportunity granted to me to move this important Bill. Members need to note that this...

Yes, I was just moving, Hon. Deputy Speaker, but maybe... For your information, all tribunals, even though members come from the parent institution, are managed under the Judiciary. Yes. Thank you so much. Hon. Deputy Speaker You proceed, but we will have an opportunity... It is good you informed me...

Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. (Several Hon. Members raised their hands) I do not know whether I am allowed by the Standing Orders to donate a minute. (Hon. Robert Mbui spoke off the record) You are not allowed to donate. Because this is under Standing Order No. 95,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. I did not want to contribute to this. The Temporary Chairlady (Hon. (Dr) Rachael Nyamai: Hon. Silvanus Osoro, Whip of the Majority Party.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to start by congratulating my sister, Hon. Kamene, for bringing this important Higher Education Loans Board (Amendment) Bill. The education sector in this country is facing a number of challenges. Some of the challenges are making...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What is your point of order, Hon. Makali? Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The issue raised by Hon. Millie is very important and I agree with her. If you look at the Order Paper of last week, the Bill which...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What is your point of order? Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I know we want to pass this Motion, which is important. However, the procedure is important. This is a very important Motion on an independent Commission. I get very surprised when...

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I really appreciate your ruling to allow a few Members to contribute to this important Motion. You know what we are discussing are independent commissions. They are constitutional commissions and they play a very key role in this country. It is important for...
