Kenya saved close to Ksh20 million ($200,000) in per diem when MPs due to travel to New York for the 64th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women Conference were asked to refund the money.
Global concerns on the coronavirus pandemic saw the event reduced from two weeks to one day and countries asked not to send delegations. Member states were represented by their Permanent Missions based at the UN in New York. All debates and side events were cancelled.
