After 14 years of construction, which began during the Mwai Kibaki era, the Bunge Towers are finally complete and ready for occupation by Kenyan legislators.

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has approved the relocation of Members of Parliament to the Bunge Towers, effective Thursday, 11 April 2024.

Wetangula clarified that the Parliamentary Service Commission has confirmed the offices will be ready for occupancy for Members of Parliament by the end of the week. The 28-story building, constructed for lawmakers, will be occupied within two phases, starting with this first phase on 11 April. The second phase will commence on 1 July 2024, when MPs with assigned offices will move from Continental House to the Tower. Wetangula indicated that 280 offices will go to the National Assembly, while 51 offices will be preserved for the Senate.

The building, originally slated for completion in 3 years, took 14 years to construct due to several delays. It boasts a range of amenities including a gym, beauty parlor, and restaurant.
