Does it ever occur to you that with direct taxes scrapped-off in the late 90's; the elite citizens of this country more willingly pay their tithe, participate in / give to charity drives organized by Churches, NGOs, Associations etc than give to government.
Unfortunately for every individual Ugandan avoiding taxes is not an option because for every sum of Ushs.10,000/= that is spent in transactions that pay for ones day to day needs about Ushs.1,800/= is taken to the “public” coffers code named “consolidated fund” which is managed by Government. The fund is meant to serve the ordinary Ugandan by offering quality Health, Education, Transport and other services and infrastructure but an ordinary Ugandan does not stand the opportunity to enjoy that right from the delegated government parastatals.
