In order to facilitate parliament business, Chibaya was provided with a handset of his choice and a dedicated line contracted to Parliament. On top of that, he receives 2 000 units of voice bundles and 50GB data per month.
Furthermore, Chibaya is entitled to State provided security for his person and residence.
