Naming Competition for Parliament’s New Office Tower
The winner will be awarded a cash prize of Sh100,000.
The Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) has announced a nationwide competition to crowdsource the name for its new office building that is set to officially open in Nairobi.
In a public notice on Monday, the PSC invited interested citizens to participate in the contest to find a suitable name for the office block that is currently christened Parliament Tower.
“The name must be catchy, reflect the values of the institution of Parliament and its stature,” read the PSC advertisement.
Interested citizens can find further information and name submission forms on the commission’s website at parliament.go.ke/downloads.
The filed name submissions of the proposed name should be submitted on or before June 20, 2022, at 11.00 AM, the PSC said.
The winner will be awarded a cash prize of Sh100,000.

Developed by the PSC, the 26-floor office block is set on a one-acre plot between Continental House and County Hall, next to Parliament buildings.
The prime piece of land was allocated to Parliament by the government in 2000.
The Parliament Tower, whose construction started in March 2014, is meant to provide offices for members of the National Assembly and the Senate.
The new building, which includes a tunnel connecting to the current Parliament buildings, was to be completed in 2017 but the project was delayed by some legal disputes.
The issues were later resolved and the contractor – China Jiangxi Construction Company – is expected to hand over the building next month.
