After Zuleika Hassan’s eviction, the deputy speaker had said there was a facility for mothers working at parliament to nurse their babies across the road from the main building.

''I can tell you for free this place was not open to us female MPs before,” Ms Hassan told the BBC when she visited the nursery.

"I know that some leaders are trying to embarrass me in parliament by saying that there was a room before, but why didn't I known about it?

"No other member of parliament or the staff of parliament who have had a baby knew about that room."

Zuleika Hassan says she and her colleagues had not been told about the creche before

She said parliament had reacted fast after eviction: "You can see that most of the stuff and furniture, it’s extremely brand new. It smells brand new, you can see that these items have never been handled or used before."

But she said that she was happy that it was now ready for her and her colleagues to use.

“Right now we have gone on recess for a month, but when I come back I will be happy to bring my child here,” she said.

Ms Hassan had brought her five-month-old baby with her to work because of a domestic emergency, saying parliament did not have a nursery.

It caused a drama in the house, with male colleagues shouting at her and calling her action shameful.

In 2017, Kenyan lawmakers passed a bill compelling employers to construct special rooms where mothers could breastfeed and change their babies.

Zuleika Hassan said she was impressed with all the new equipment
