Lawmakers on the Budget Committee have questioned government’s planned expenditure of Shs490b under the new Parish Model project that is meant to eradicate poverty among 68 per cent households across the country.
While defending the budget estimates for the Financial Year 2021/2022, Finance minister Matia Kasaija said the money is meant to benefit 10,460 households across the country and each parish would get about Shs40b for agricultural production.
