No public funds used for NZ study visit of Women Parliamentarians’ Caucus

Date:

Colombo (LNW): No government funds were used for the recent New Zealand study visit of the Women Parliamentarians’ Caucus, said Secretary General of Parliament Kushani Rohanadheera.

She pointed out that this study visit was organised with the support of development partners without using government funds for about two and a half years.

Women Parliamentarians’ Caucus plays a major role in addressing the socio-economic and political issues of women in the country, and it will be helpful to gain experience from the developed countries of the Commonwealth in order to perform those tasks more efficiently, she added.

Rohanadheera emphasised that although the members of the Women Parliamentarians’ Caucus represent different political parties, they stand up for the common goals of the caucus and work together under the leadership of its Chairperson, MP (Dr.) Sudarshini Fernandopulle.
