    "content": "is henceforth enhanced and such passes ought not to be issued to visitors or former Members. Those are for car passes and they must be strictly for sitting Members. Those others can get theirs differently. The ones for sitting Members are to facilitate ease of entry of Members. We have agreed that all that is to be done. (ix) There should be adequate manning of the Parliament Buildings and random security patrols carried out in all the buildings and parking base including the basement parking. No vehicle should be left at the basement parking for unreasonably long periods of time. Under this point, Hon. Members, those of you who park their vehicles and disappear for three months until when you go there, the vehicles are even deflated, what is the intention? Do you want to throw your cars away, so that we can have them removed and destroyed? So, Hon. Members, this is meant to address that problem because the parking bay is supposed to facilitate Members. (x) Whereas the “two-visitors rule per Member” for admission into the restaurant remains, going forward the restaurants in the main Parliament Buildings will only admit a maximum of 45 visitors at a time. This number represents about 15 per cent of the total sitting capacity of the said restaurant. Members are, therefore, encouraged to refrain from having repeat visitors in order to give other persons or Members an opportunity to access the restaurant. Hon. Members, given these new challenges, the Speaker’s Rules 2017 will be reviewed in order to reflect the current modern safety and security standards. In the meantime, as the Chairperson of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), I will, in the course of the coming week, issue a circular to actualise this Communication with respect to admission and conduct of visitors within the precincts of Parliament. The House is accordingly guided. Hon. Members, this is not part of this Communication, but I want to encourage you not to be accosted by strangers who tell you that they know certain Members like Hon. Robert Mbui, Hon. (Dr.) Chris Wamalwa, Hon. Benjamin Washiali and Hon. Deputy Speaker and then you ask them if they come from their respective constituencies after which you tell them to follow you into Parliament Buildings. Hon. Members, that is also undesirable."
