Members of Parliament (MPs) have taken a firm stance against relocating to the newly constructed Ksh7.1 billion Bunge tower, citing a number of grievances ranging from cramped office spaces to infrastructure inadequacies.
The towering structure, hailed as a symbol of modernity and progress, was intended to serve as the new headquarters for the legislative body.
However, resistance from the very individuals it was built to accommodate has cast a shadow over its inauguration.

Leading among the complaints voiced by MPs is the issue of cramped office spaces, which many claim is unsuitable for conducting parliamentary business effectively.
The lack of adequate ventilation and natural lighting has further worsened the discomfort experienced by occupants, leading to concerns about the overall well-being and productivity of staff working within the premises.
Moreover, reports have surfaced regarding the unreliable phone network reception, particularly on the upper floors of the tower.
This has raised concerns about communication breakdowns and the potential impact on the timely dissemination of critical information among lawmakers and their constituents.
Adding to the litany of grievances is the sluggish and occasionally malfunctioning elevator, a crucial component of vertical mobility within the multi-storey building.
MPs have voiced frustration over the inconvenience caused by the erratic performance of this essential amenity, which has hindered their ability to traverse the towering structure with ease.
The collective dissatisfaction expressed by MPs regarding the state-of-the-art Bunge tower has reignited discussions surrounding the allocation of public funds and the accountability of government projects.
