IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD BREAD THEN TRY CAKES
Uganda would have been one of the best
places to be on this planet but it has turned to the opposite. No reason
to cry for this but i can't stop the tears flowing on my heart. the
rich becoming richer and the poor becoming poorer. The cost of living is
becoming higher and higher everyday. Many parents can't afford school
fees, no drugs in the government hospitals, many families can't afford
to have at least two meals a day and they survive on one meal a day. The
nationals have always had endless hope in their government.
unfortunately, the government observes this in a different way.
Despite the fact that Ugandans have criticized the annual budget
2014/2015, the government urges that nothing can and nothing will be
changed. The minister of finance says her budget is aimed at increasing
government funds. The minister of education says that increasing the
taxes posed on private schools will help the education sector grow and
now i wonder how many children will drop out of school next year due to
failure of paying school bills. Believe me or not the schools will
divert these taxes to school through school bills.
Many families can't afford to have at least two meals a day and i was
shocked when the minister of finance read that taxes on sugar and rice
are to be raised and this automatically means that theirs prices will go
up for the traders to meet their profits. the rise of taxes on
scholastic materials is unfair. Many studies show that children are
dropping out of school because they lack scholastic materials.
This shows that the poor are no longer needed in the country. The
government has failed to deliver these services to the people. The
nationals are trying their best to copy up with this hard situation and
then the government raises taxes on the everyday basic needs. This
reminds me one thing. " IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD BREAD, THEN BUY CAKES"
