Members of Parliament have protested the poor quality of food served to them at the National Assembly’s cafeteria.
The MPs want the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) to hire professional chefs so that services at Parliament’s eatery can match those of 5-star hotels.
Led by Majority Leader in the National Assembly Aden Duale, the parliamentarians have demanded for implementation of a report by a House Committee that recommended changes in catering services.
“We must outsource this service. The legislature cannot do business of cooking food. This should be given to the right people,” says Duale.
After a bench-marking tour to the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, National Assembly’s Services and Facilities Committee recommended setting up of two more eateries, refurbishment of the current kitchen among others.
Nyaribari Masaba MP Ezekiel Machogu who is the chairman of the committee says his team has been following the matter with Speaker Justin Muturi to ensure the report is implemented.
“I tabled a report containing 50 recommendations to the PSC. We have been following this and have made a call to the chairman of the PSC over this because only 20 per cent of the recommendations have been adopted,” he says.
Earlier this year, MPs suspended the business of the day to debate the quality of food and drinks served to them at the cafeteria.
“Mr Speaker, the type of tea that we are being served when we come here has very little milk. It looks like that offered during funerals,” Suna East MP Junet Mohammed, said.
After touring UK,Ireland…

So you went to those places to see how you can improve your own food quality,and standard?
You fellows are well paid.You don’t have to be fed at parliament. You can drive ,or be driven afew minutes to your 5 star hotels and restaurants, where you take your mistresses and school girls. How arrogant of you to complain about food when alot of wananchi who pay your exorbitant salaries go around on empty stomachs…You fellows are really a spoilt lot.You spoiled yourselves on public coffers.Shame on you.

These POS basically live for…
These POS basically live for free; they are overpaid, their extravagance covered by tax payers (not to mention the unbelievable theft), loans guaranteed and now they want to be fed like Kings. SHAME ON THEM.NO WONDER THE COUNTRY IS FOR SALE. How can employees demand their employer to treat them like Royalty? A good portion of Kenyans can’t even guarantee three meals a day for their families and you here talking bout 5 star catering.You barely work 8 hours a day and the times you are ‘at work’ is spent scheming, ass licking, hunting for vulnerable younglings,hurling insults at each other, molesting woman or worshipping wazungu. Gasia tupu. THEY ARE WHAT THEY ARE COZ THE MASSES TOLERATE THEIR BULLSHIT AND THEY KNOW YOU WILL RE-ELECT THEM AGAIN.

What’s up with these Duale and Nyaribari Machoga, how many people in their constituencies go to bed hungry everyday? The funeral tea that Junate Muhammad is insulting people with is the only available type of tea for most Kenyans while many others can’t even afford such. Shame on our greedy clueless mpigs.
