In her remarks, Aisha Kabanda said that the chief fundraiser will be the NUP presidential flag bearer, Robert Kyagulanyi.
Kabanda added that although any fee or donation will be accepted, the fundraising drive seeks to raise 1.17 trillion shillings and this can be achieved if at least 12 million Ugandans contribute ten thousand shillings to their fundraising team.
“The uphill task can be made easy if all of us agree that we can achieve our goal. We are sure that we can raise this money,” Kabanda said.
Presidential hopeful Kyagulanyi, in his remarks, said that is this a very small price to pay for the country’s freedom and urged all their well-wishers and supporters to contribute for the betterment of Uganda.

Ghetto gladiator later spread the fundraising gospel on his social media platforms where he posted;
“It is small actions of committed men and women which eventually bring down a mighty oppressive regime. Revolutions are not made in the boardroom.
They are made in our towns and cities, in our mosques and churches, in our homes and workplaces. This is where committed citizens do small actions which build up a current that powerful guns cannot resist.
I am always grateful to see these pictures of comrades doing actions that further our revolution. Keep on keeping on. We shall overcome. Victory is in sight.”
