{UAH} DP opposes NCHE shs 2M charge to verify academic papers of candidates

The Democratic Party has opposed the charge set by the National Council for Higher Education, (NCHE) of shs 2M to verify academic papers of prospective political candidates in the forthcoming general elections.

According to UNEB executive secretary Dan Odongo, aspiring candidates for local government have up to 2nd July to submit their applications with academic papers certified by NCHE while parliamentary aspirants have up to 24^th August.

DP president Norbert Mao described this as a broad day robbery arguing that it doesn't correspond to the service offered and a trick to kick off many potential poor aspirants.

The charge was also opposed by members of parliament yesterday warning that this will drive the cost of elections higher because aspiring candidates for parliamentary and presidential are also required to pay Shs3M and Shs20m respectively
