I think everyone loves to live in a stable, consistent and rather predictable environment... financially as well.<BR/><BR/>Again as majority of us are - we probably haven't heard of 'tax philosophy' in Bongo. I for one can't even recall its translation - or such an idea in kiswahili. If our government has such a philosophy then wananchi are kept in the dark about it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your illuminating articles. I'll read more about tax philosophy.mwandanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221079814940079302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28061765.post-1151334733167266812006-06-26T11:12:00.000-04:002006-06-26T11:12:00.000-04:00Mwandani,I agree with your point of view, for it c...Mwandani,<BR/><BR/>I agree with your point of view, for it captures other realities that we can dig into.<BR/><BR/>My point was rather intended to point out inconsistency in our tax philosophy (or lack of it). Life in Bongo doesn't have to change every June...at least that's my point of view. Even if someone can't plan for the 15th of each month, give them consistency, not life that changes with every budget in June with a change in tax philosophy.Jaduong Mettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03845759887672890549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28061765.post-1151326893283595242006-06-26T09:01:00.000-04:002006-06-26T09:01:00.000-04:00"How could a regular mwananchi plan and budget for..."How could a regular mwananchi plan and budget for the life expenditures while they don't know for sure how much money they would be paying for one trip of daladala in the next 9 months"<BR/><BR/>Regular mwananchi can plan - or spend rather - up to the 15th of each month when the dough runs out. To have a plan for the 9 months ahead... the majority of us simply cant.mwandanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221079814940079302noreply@blogger.com
