Parliament was expected to discuss and adopt findings of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on the Auditor General's report on the 2014/2015 financial year Health sector Budget.
No sooner had the PAC Chairperson Angeline Osegge started presenting the report, than the Bwamba County MP, Richard Gafabusa rose on a matter of procedure.
Gafabusa told the house chaired by the Speaker, Rebecca Kadaga that he couldn't follow the report, since it wasn't available on his Ipad.
He was supported by Joseph Ssewungu, the Kalungu West MP who pleaded with the speaker to ensure the Ipads are worked on to improve their efficiency.
William Nzonghu, the Busongora North MP, said his Ipad has been dysfunctional for the last two months.
The Speaker, Rebecca Kadaga rejected the proposal to distribute hard copies to the legislator, saying they ditched them because of the costs involved.
She directed the Clerk to Parliament, Jane Kibirige to investigate the functionality of the Ipads and internet in the house and file a report by Thursday.
Parliament forked out Shillings 3.6 million to procure Ipads for each of the 427 legislators in the tenth parliament. The speaker introduced the use of Ipads in the house during the Ninth parliament hoping to cut down on stationary costs.
However, a year after the introduction of the Ipads, the printing, stationary and binding budget of parliament shot from Shillings 383 million to a whopping Shillings 1.5 billion.
