Kassanda South MP Hajji Abdul Bisaso Joins Ugandan Delegation for East African Benchmarking Mission

What the report says

Hon. Hajji Abdul Bisaso, the Member of Parliament for Kassanda South, has joined a 25-member group of Ugandan legislators on a one-week benchmarking visit to Kenya and Tanzania, according to Watchdog Uganda. The trip is being carried out under the MP Connect Fellowship, a program organized by Faraja Africa and described as aimed at strengthening legislative skills, parliamentary practice, networking and regional cooperation in the East African Community.

The article says the delegation began its program in Nairobi, where members met counterparts in Kenya’s National Assembly and Senate. Those discussions reportedly centered on legislative drafting, committee oversight and youth-focused policy work. The delegation is expected to continue to Dar es Salaam and Arusha, which the publication describes as important EAC administrative centers.

Watchdog Uganda reports that Bisaso is using the visit to support priorities he says matter to Kassanda South, including youth empowerment, community economic initiatives and partnerships that could open regional opportunities for constituents. More broadly, the piece presents the mission as part of ongoing peer learning among East African lawmakers. As general context, such parliamentary exchanges are often used to compare institutional practices and build cross-border legislative cooperation, though the article does not detail any formal outcomes from this specific trip.
