ODM Has No Moral Authority to Lead Watchdog Committees, Says Kitui Central MP Dr. Makali Mulu

Kitui Central MP and aspiring Governor Dr. Makali Mulu has criticized the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) for seeking leadership positions in parliamentary watchdog committees. Dr. Mulu, a member of the Wiper Democratic Movement, asserted that ODM cannot “eat their cake and have it,” emphasizing that their leadership in such committees could undermine parliamentary accountability and oversight.

Dr. Mulu’s comments highlight ongoing tensions between the Wiper Party and ODM within the broader political coalition. As an aspirant for the gubernatorial position in the upcoming elections, Dr. Mulu’s statements reflect concerns over the distribution of power and responsibilities among coalition partners.

The issue of committee leadership has sparked debate among political leaders, with some arguing that fair representation in these roles is crucial for effective governance. Dr. Mulu’s remarks suggest a need for careful consideration of how these positions are allocated to ensure integrity and accountability in parliamentary proceedings.
