President William Ruto is set to open Bunge Tower today officially.

Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetang'ula announced the postponement on April 18.

The Tower that is situated directly across Parliament buildings, has a tunnel and 28 floors with a wide range of state-of-the-art facilities for MPs and staff.

Bunge Tower was initiated by the Parliamentary Service Commission in 2010 to provide sufficient office space for the MPs.

The ultra-modern building was originally designed for members of the National Assembly with 320 offices but the coming in of the Senate after the adoption of the new constitution saw senators included.

Other than two tunnels, the office block has four basements, a ground floor, 28 floors and an access building in the main buildings.
