    "content": "Even some items, specifically, electrical items, are already outdated. They cannot be used now. They need to remove most of them. The main contractor had so many sub-contractors, you could not even know who was doing what. That was the Statement from Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). There is an elephant in the room; the Parliamentary Joint Services led by a Director General. Next week, I will bring a statement in that regard. We want to know how much budget they have and how that money is used. I also thank Sen. Wambua. He brought up an issue of employees who were interdicted because they invited some media people into that building. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Bunge Tower is not the only issue we have, there is something else happening in this Parliament. They are doing something called the Physical Security Information Management System (PSIM), which is contracted to a contractor. I am told that it is already going into Kshs6 billion. Next week, I am also going to bring a statement. We want this House to be furnished with documents that show the exact position when they started that project and where we are now, how much money was tendered for, how much was already spent, what is the balance payable and if the work is complete and/or when it will be completed. Just like Sen. Wamuba said, we need to start to clean our house first. We call governors and Cabinet Secretary because of corruption, we also need to clean our house first. The Speaker of the National Assembly said that he is going to punish those people who are asking these questions. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are elected on behalf of 60 million people of this country and we do not fear anyone except our God. We will ask questions today, tomorrow and as long as we are in this House. In support of Sen. Cherarkey’s Bill, next week, I urge that that we sit and discuss this amendment and see how we can help add more to it. I support this Bill."
