Somalian Prime Minister Hussein Roble has said women aspirants at all levels of the coming October elections will pay half the official registration fees.

“The Council, in considering a request from women, has reduced the fee for [female] candidates for member of parliament by 50 percent,” said Mr. Noble

This means that female parliamentary candidates will pay $20,000, as opposed to the $40,000 required by the National Electoral Commission for Senate hopefuls, or $15,000 for the Lower House as opposed to $30,000. Presidential contenders will be required to pay $50,000.
