MPs on the defence and internal affairs committee demand that the Government purchases a new Police helicopter in preparation for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).
Mariam Nalunkuuma writes that internal affairs permanent secretary Paul Kagoda had told the committee that the Ministry of Finance had earmarked sh756m to repair the old Police helicopter.
