The reluctance of government to tax is major problem...the 200 mil needed by the government can be easily recovered experts agree but the reluctance to tax on tourism [right now about 6-8 USD on per bed even for resorts selling beds for 1000USD per night]and as suggested by a relative...tax on desirable goods like motorbikes and cigarettes. I mean compared to other countries we have a much cheaper oil price and cigarette price. These can be raised creating greater health and environmental safety as well. WE ALL KNOW the reasons for TAXation not coming into play most of the bussinessmen who own the companies bennifitting from these cheap goods and low fuel are also representatives of the governments legislative and executive body!!!!
