Parliament has increased travel and allowance budget for its members and staff by Shs20b to Shs420b in an era of subdued cross-border trips due to pandemic-related restrictions and corresponding uptick in virtual meetings.
Details of the planned increase in foreign trip expenditure on the11th Parliament, whose members will be more by almost 100, are contained in the tightly-guarded Parliamentary Commission Policy Statement for the 2021/2022 Financial Year.
