St John’s Ambulance marked its 89th Annual Inspection Parade with a grim reminder that its iconic headquarters at Parliament Square could soon be taken over by the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC).
The landmark building could be brought down to create a buffer zone for Parliament and make it an impenetrable edifice only accessible to MPs, parliamentary staff, accredited visitors and journalists. To realise this dream, PSC has already acquired adjacent buildings, including Harambee Plaza, and is in the process of building a 26-storey skyscraper at a cost of Sh5.8 billion.
