The Defense and Internal Affairs Committee's planned benchmarking trip to Kenya has been postponed until the processing of the new UPDF bill is complete.
The committee was initially scheduled to embark on a 10-day trip to Kenya, yesterday, Saturday.
According to a committee member, they have been directed to wait until the bill has been processed and passed.
As the committee responsible for processing the bill, they will report to Parliament once it's complete.
The UPDF bill is a critical piece of legislation, and the committee's attention is required to ensure its timely passage.
The bill's processing is a priority, and the committee's trip to Kenya will have to wait.
"It's crucial that we prioritize the processing of the UPDF bill," said a committee member. "We will resume our plans for the benchmarking trip to Kenya once this critical task is complete."
