After a two-month-long break, Parliament reconvened on Tuesday May 15, 2012 in an
atmosphere strongly fouled by horrendous and offensive stench from the
washrooms that serve lawmakers, staff and visitors.
A combination of broken washroom facilities and lack of potable water in
the Parliamentary Chamber Block meant that lawmakers, workers and
visitors had to put up with the stench that originated from nearby
washrooms.
The stomach-churning stench from the washrooms was so strong that it
travelled into offices in the house, aided largely by the central air
conditioner that serves the 230-member legislature.
Eyewitnesses who visited some of the male washrooms showed shocking evidence of choked water closets, with others
simmering just below the brims.
A number of angry lawmakers boycotted proceedings in protest against the
mess created partly by broken washroom facilities and water shortage.
Others
expressed outrage over the state of washroom facilities in the House and
the recurrent problem of water shortage in the lawmaking House.
The leadership of the House is yet to officially comment on the matter. It would be recalled that a couple of days ago, the Job 600 under renovation and expected to serve as offices for the Lawmakers also caught fire.
