There are Members who have raised their concerns. In particular, one has raised the issue of lifts not working. There are five or six high speed lifts, all working as efficiently as any building you can find in Manhattan in the United States of America."

What remains is brushing up for Members to start using it. In the transition, there would be Members who may use the gym in the Continental House and those who will go into the new gym. The kitchen and the modern dining are ready. The Commission has decided that we will outsource The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"

In any event, if we need any money to improve the building further, it will come to this House for appropriation. It is up to you to appropriate some resources to make the building work even better. I want to encourage you Members not to join what in my many public speeches I call ‘rejectionist philosophers on the streets of Nairobi.’ Let us not join those rejectionist philosophers who will always say: ‘Can anything good come from Nazareth?’ Yes, Senior Counsel Amollo."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. To your credit, it appears that we are finally going to occupy this behemoth that has remained with us for some time. In fairness, when issues are raised, I think they are more historical than current. I sit in the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), and I can see that my Chairman is not here. It is important to mention that the issue has arisen before the PAC. My only contribution to this would be that, perhaps, you might consider giving a communication to refer any such matter so that it finds its proper home in the PAC to be considered alongside other matters. I see some of my colleagues from PAC are here. There is need for a forum for ventilation away from the streets and what you called the ‘rejectionist philosophers.’ There should be a proper forum within Parliament so that anyone with any issue, positive or negative, finds a place to ventilate. In my view, the fact that we are finally likely to occupy those offices is a good thing. Even if we occupy them without lifts up to the 25th Floor, it would still be work in progress because it will cause those who ought to install the missing facilities to do so immediately. The longer we do not occupy it, the longer it will take to complete the work. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
