Jacob Eyeru, the Chairperson of the National Youth Council says that instead of making alternatives to education accessible to young people during this crisis, the government chose to increase data fees which cut off some young people from accessing the internet.
Mariam Nakaggwa, a youth leader from Buikwe district, said besides the little money they also wanted to see the president himself such that they could share their concerns with him and remind him of his previous pledges.
