MPs luxury demands, Taj mall down, Saving Lamu: Your Breakfast Briefing

Your favourite MPs now want to be served tea by five-star catering staff at their beck and call as they recline in their seats, supervised by a public health specialist.

In the evening after a hard-day’s work, they will stretch out in their revamped gym to the soft and tender touches of blind masseurs.

Besides the five-star bar services with continental and traditional cuisines, and top-of-top-of-the range 4WD cars bought by you, they also want a facelift to their glittering offices.
