The Government chief whip Ruth Nankabirwa Sentamu said that the youth should stop complaining  about the increase in nomination fees for parliamentary and presidential seats, saying that it does not favour them financially.

Nankabirwa said that the youth and other people who can afford nomination fees should seek sponsorship from political parties of their choice and raise the required fee. She noted that as youth they should have individual friends who can sponsor them in situations where they do not have campaign money.

He defended government on the nomination fees for the parliamentary seats, saying that as executive they wanted one million shillings from 200.000 shillings but were over powered by parliament that and put the fee to 3 million shillings.
