The Democratic Party have commended the Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga for positively receiving petition by youth to reduce nomination fees from 3 million shillings to 400,000 shillings.
The party publicity secretary, Kenneth Kakande says that democracy is not a commodity to be purchased by the highest bidder but rather one where everyone can freely engage in politics.
He adds that reducing the fees will give more youth a chance to actively participate in politics by contesting for parliamentary and other elective seats.
