The Forum for Democratic Change chairperson for Moroto district Michael Aurumo has urged the electoral commission to consider reducing the nomination fees for political actors.

Aurumo made the call during a consultative meeting on constitutional and political reforms held yesterday at Baglea hotel in Moroto town.

Aurumo says nomination fees just intend to prove commitment from the political aspirants therefore need to think of little pay other than being exorbitant.

According to Aurumo exclusive of other political positions, members of parliament and presidential aspirants should pay at least between 200.000 and maximum of 500.000 as nomination fee.

He adds that the government should consider putting people in the center of politics other than enacting laws that only favor particular aspirants.

Speaking during the consultative meeting, electorates called upon government reinstate term limits in the constitution.

Mark Aol Musoka the former chairperson Moroto district said reinstating term limits will save the country from selfish people who assume to be the only leaders for this country.

He adds that term limits should not be limited to only the office of presidency but to other political offices.

Moses Nyeko Moroto municipality parliamentary aspirant in 2021, said the removal of term limit exposed Ugandans to all sorts of vulnerability.

Nyeko says many incompetent leaders have been maintained in offices because of their money yet the country has lost development programs within their sight.

The consultative meeting was organized by Riamiriam civil society network with support from Uganda national NGO forum and forum for women in democracy.
