THOSE FROM AMONG US…

In April 2025, Kidega Ogenrwot Moses, aspirant for Northern Youth MP (26/31), officially petitioned the Secretary General of the mighty NRM Party, Rt. Hon. Richard Todwong, on behalf of hustlers and the common youth of Uganda.

The request was simple but powerful: reduce or waive the Youth League nomination fees that were locking out financially disadvantaged but capable young leaders from active participation in the party.

At the time, District Youth League executives were required to pay UGX 100,000 as nomination fees. While acknowledging the party’s financial needs, Kidega emphasized that the economic reality placed most young people especially in Northern Uganda at a great disadvantage.

He proposed a fee cut to UGX 20,000, or a full waiver at certain levels, to ensure that leadership opportunities were not limited to those with money but open to all who had the heart and vision to serve.

This call was rooted in the spirit of affirmative action and aimed at encouraging broad participation, attracting credible and committed young leaders, and strengthening the vibrancy of the NRM through grassroots mobilization.

The party listened.
The NRM Secretariat removed nomination fees at the Subcounty level, making participation free for youth leaders there. This victory means more hustlers stepping into leadership, more voices representing the people, and greater energy for securing victory for President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni and NRM flag bearers in 2026.
Kidega remains clear in his mission:

“Policies should work for the hustlers. A common person, for the common people.”
