At least 70 Members of Parliament who had been locked out of their offices at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) are now back in their bases after the rent arrears were cleared by the Parliamentary Service Commission.
The management of KICC had locked them out on Monday morning due to unpaid rent arrears of Sh50.7 million causing an embarrassment to the legislators and their members of staff who were forced to go back home after failing to access their work stations.
Reliable reports from the management of the KICC confirmed that the debt had been cleared and the legislators allowed back to their offices which they have been occupying with majority of their colleagues having moved to the Bunge Towers in May last year.
But The Standard has now learnt from the Parliamentary Service Commission that the legislators will be moved from the iconic building to offices within the parliament square by July this year in order to cut on costs incurred in paying out rent for the legislators.
