Several Members of Parliament were unable to access their offices on Monday, May 12, due to rent arrears, Kenyans.co.ke has learnt.

The lawmakers were locked out of their offices at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) over unpaid rent amounting to more than Ksh50 million.

Their plight came just days after the Parliamentary Service Commission tried to salvage the situation by appealing to the KICC management to allow the MPs back into their offices as efforts to settle the rent arrears continued.

According to reports, the PSC had promised to clear the outstanding balances before the close of the current financial year, which ends on June 30.
