Bernard Muia Kiala (born 14 July 1968), is the first Deputy Governor of Machakos County.

In March 2013, Bernard Kiala was elected alongside Dr. Alfred Mutua as the Deputy Governor of Machakos County on a Wiper Democratic Movement Party ticket.

Corruption accusations and counter-accusations between Dr. Alfred Mutua and Bernard Kiala have since 2014 created a frosty relationship between them.

Initially, the Machakos County Assembly voted to impeach him for allegations of insubordination to Governor Alfred Mutua, nepotism and abuse of office.

After a brief attempt to vie as an independent candidate, Bernard Kiala withdrew from the contest a week before the elections, citing a need to strengthen the overall candidature of the National Super Alliance which he subscribed to.
