Parliament procures iPads for MPs
July 30, 2021 Speaker Jacob Oulanyah and deputy speaker Anita Among meeting Leader of Opposition Mathias Mpuuga
Fresh from wiring Shs 200m to legislators, parliament has now procured iPads for its 529 MPs and 26 ex-officio members.
Deputy speaker Anita Among Thursday said that parliament would start distributing the iPads to MPs on Monday next week.
The tradition of procuring iPads for MPs started during the 9th parliament when the parliamentary commission, the governing body of the House approved the expenditure. Among said with the iPads, MPs no longer have the excuse of missing documents or meetings.
Following Among s communication, the leader of opposition Mathias Mpuuga appealed to MPs to ensure proper use of the gadgets, especially when attending committee meetings and plenary sittings virtually. He also appealed for decency when one is using Zoom technology to avoid any scandalous images.
