Uganda’s government faces scrutiny as it sends a 600-member delegation to the 28th Conference of Parties in Dubai, raising concerns about spending amid financial constraints.
The delegation, including 13 ministers and 58 Members of Parliament, has drawn attention for its size, placing Uganda among African countries with the largest representations.
Earlier, criticism arose when two delegations of 70 officials were dispatched to the UN General Assembly in New York, some unrelated to the summit’s theme.
Calls for scrutiny focus on delegates’ technical competence, with opinions divided on the delegation’s necessity and accountability for spending.
