The Clerk to Parliament, Adolf Mwesige, has revealed that Parliament has already procured iPads for all Members of Parliament, with distribution expected to begin soon as part of efforts to facilitate digital operations within the House.
According to Mwesige, each iPad is valued at approximately UGX2.5 million, and Parliament’s ICT department will conduct training sessions to help MPs effectively use the devices.
The procurement means the government has already spent over UGX1.32 billion on the gadgets for the 529 members of the 12th Parliament.
Mwesige noted that the initiative is intended to support modern parliamentary work, improve access to digital documents, and streamline communication and legislative processes within Parliament.
The announcement has already sparked public discussion, with some Ugandans questioning the expenditure amid ongoing economic challenges, while others argue that digital tools are necessary for improving efficiency in legislative work.
