Description
Parliament’s travel expense debate rages on as MPs grill the Ministry of Foreign Affairs over $480K in international travel funds and perks like frequent flyer miles—accused of personal gain or just essential governance. Dr. Rollins presses the minister on mileage benefits, while Kwasi Thompson flags repeated budget overruns. Deputy PM Chester Cooper defends unplanned trips as necessary, joking the opposition sounds like they want more travel. The core tension? Transparency vs. operational need—taxpayers watching closely as public funds meet the demands of governing.
