To use MBROLA voices you have to install:

1. MBROLA synthesizer:

sudo apt-get install mbrola

2. MBROLA voices (i.e. voice database files) e.g.:

sudo apt-get install mbrola-de4

Note, that not all MBROLA voices, which are configured in eSpeak NG, can be installed as standard packages. More MBROLA voices can be downloaded from here:
https://github.com/numediart/MBROLA-voices/

Files located in .../espeak-ng-data/voices/mb are actually mapping files between eSpeak NG phoneme names (phonemes) and phonemes used in MBROLA voice databases. As described here: https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/blob/master/docs/mbrola.md
