Parliament on Tuesday afternoon handed over a brand new Isuzu bus to the national netball team, the She Cranes.
In July Members of Parliament moved and passed a resolution to recognize She Cranes for winning the African Netball Trophy.
Legislators contributed Shs 500,000 each, totalling Shs. 240million to buy a bus and for members of the team to share the balance.

The Speaker, Rebecca Kadaga this afternoon officially handed the team the bus at a ceremony at the house’s main parking.
Kadaga said during the brief ceremony that Parliament is doing everything to develop sports in particular and also generally carrying out its social responsibility.
