Due diligence should be exercised to ensure that trips abroad serve a legitimate purpose and directly benefit the constituents MPs and staff represent.

Moreover, traveling abroad should not be perceived as an entitlement exclusive to politicians. Instead, prioritization should be given to those engagements that will genuinely contribute to the country’s development and welfare.

This shift towards purpose-driven travel would enhance the overall effectiveness and legitimacy of international engagements undertaken by MPs and staff, fostering a more responsible and accountable political establishment.
