In the heart of the Kenyan capital, the city of Nairobi , is the building of the Parliament of the first president of the state. Its central entrance is decorated with a sign with the inscription, which reads: "For a just society and honest rulers."
Past and Present
The history of the construction of the sights is very interesting, because the earliest mention of the building of the Parliament of the first president of Kenya dates back to the XIX century. The very first building was made of wood, therefore, after having served the term, it was replaced by a new, more modern and reliable one. This event occurred in 1913. After 30 years, the officials, believing that this building no longer meets the requirements set to it, organized construction work, which resulted in the parliament, which is carrying out work today. The building is made in colonial style.
Today, the work of Kenyan political figures is available for observation, anyone can go to parliament and see how their day goes. In addition, tourists are invited to visit excursions that take place in parliamentary galleries and introduce the culture and creativity of the indigenous population of the country.
