    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to bring to your attention and that of the Members to some of the tribulations that we, Members of Parliament, go through while executing our mandate. I have an office at Kenya International Convention Centre (KICC). I think more Members have offices there. From yesterday, we have been unable to access them. The more we insist that we are Members of Parliament and that we have nothing to do with the conference – that we just want to access our offices – the more those officers become adamant. We have been told that we will not access our offices until the conference is over. That is by the end of the week. It means that I will not be able to access my office. I will not be able to access my office as a Member of Parliament (MP) and also as the Chairman of my Committee. We tried to look for accreditation and we did so over a month ago, but it was declined. I do not know the reason because other people have been able to access their KICC offices, save for the MPs. I am seeking your guidance as to how we shall proceed for the next one week because we cannot operate without going to our offices. We have absolutely nothing to do with the conference. In fact, I am not interested in going to the conference, but I should not be denied my right to go to my office. I am seeking your guidance as the Chairman of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) that employs us and also gives us facilities as to how we shall operate."
