The state minister of environment Beatrice Atim Anwyar has rallied parliament to support her bid for the United Nations Environment Assembly – UNEA presidency.
The 6th session of the forthcoming Assembly, which is the world’s highest-level decision-making body on the environment consisting of all 193 UN Member States will take place in Nairobi on March 2, 2022.
Anywar will face off against two competitors from Algeria and Morocco after Malawi stepped down. She first presented the idea before the Committee of Parliament on National Economy chaired by Robert Migadde, the Buvuma County MP on Friday.
Anwyar again presented her bid on the floor of Parliament and rallied the House to appropriate funds to support Uganda’s challenge for the top seat.
She explained that the country stands to enjoy enormous benefits including but not limited to the promotion of the tourism sector among UN member states to enhance its profile on the global stage.
