The Parliament parking lot which cost about Shs36 billion and can accommodate 510 cars was last week closed down for two days over floods.

The Daily Monitor reports that authorities in Parliament said the lot was flooded due to the rains that poured last week and the area had leakages.

However, the Parliament cleaners were immediately dispatched to the South Wing to shove water using buckets and rags, until a contractor, M/s Seyani and Brothers Limited, was called to come and fix the problem.

The lot was re-opened on Tuesday.
