Its quite a long time we have been in business and things are quite doing so well, yeah, its really good news to hold a business regardless of the nature it falls into, but one thing that we all have got in common is that, we owe our clients their due. As all of us know, directly or indirectly our clients are always those we care for the most, after all they are the reason to why business are sustained and why many employers are ready to invest thousands of shillings everyday to the various advertising agencies. The authorities as we all know it, are the ones rightly designated by virtue of our constitution to do the collection of our taxes and a review of the benefits will make us reconsider our position especially if we have been cheating on our loved ones, by giving them their share as a token of appreciation for all that they continue to do for us especially by honestly filling in our tax returns (URA).
Accessibility to our social services improves as the civil servants will be content with their pay hence lessen and in the long term eliminate strikes, riots in the civil service, the worst being witnessed recently in South Africa. When one goes to Mulago Hospital, it will be a miracle to be worked on at the same rate you would witness in a private hospital, and also talking about the private wing whereby if you don’t have more than 20,000/= you should forget about any response and move to the public wing, crowds of desperate patients waiting for doctors who hardly ever show up at their designated hours, and as its seen often, some blame the doctors, but in reality it’s the government which cant afford them the pay they deserve, so as usual of human nature, they behave as observed and justifying further the creating of a private wing in a national referral hospital. As most of us blame the gov’t for failing to serve, in reality, we are to blame, because we cheat ourselves and at the same time we demand for what we didn’t help to come true. If only many of us would be more loyal, a great improvement would be witnessed in this sector for the betterment of our lifespan fellow Ugandans. When we turn to the infransture especially the roads, actually many journalists have identified Kampala city as the pothole city of sub-saharan Africa and its true because of all the capital cities in these countries, Kampala overtakes them. Well, some of us would say its due to the shoddy work, corruption and lack of transparency especially as witnessed during the offering of tenders for CHOGM road construction, which roads started collapsing before the end of the year and just to remind us, the loans always the gov’t acquires, its you and me, who pay for them. Imagine our taxes are paid fairly to over ¾ of the URA projections for every financial year, although we cant change many things in politics especially on how the visionaries are pushing the nation, we would effect our comfort and lessen on the traffic and have a great reason to ask the government whenever it fails to perform as per every financial year budget, but with most of us playing the game, milking our nation without feeding it just as fmr. president Idd Amin put it before the Asians of his day: “milking a cow without feeding it,” nothing is yet to change. As the old saying goes, you never learn how great your neighbors are good at cooking meals until you visit them one day lest you praise your mama for being the best cook in the world, I would say, visit any of our neighbors especially where we can afford or visit through the internet. I hope you have hard of the Thika highway just one of the many 8 lane highways projects in progress as here, we are busy failing ourselves and not feeding our pearl, or many of us are in for shankwanzi?? Let’s do our part, and give what belongs to the authorities, to the authorities by paying our taxes.
