Officers abandoned duty

It looks the officers manning this police post survived on mobile money.

Since the introduction of mobile money tax the officers have abandoned the police station without explanation to their clients/taxpayers.

Whereas the motto of Uganda Police Force (UPF) is, ” Protect and Serve), snoops at The Drone Media wonder if this is the protection?

Meanwhile our readers are wondering, ” what are the pigs doing?’ Well, this is from the President’s write up that has made rounds on social media. Are these officers also……..

“Greetings to all of you. Thanks for responding to my message of 4th July 2018 on the issue of social- media and mobile money taxes.

There were many responses. Some, like Brenda Margaret, saying that the ‘pigs’ in Govt are filling their stomachs. Otherwise, people would not mind paying taxes because we all want the country to develop.

Others, falsely, claiming that all the ‘massive taxes’ have failed to develop the country. What can 0.5% do? That wrong statement was by Rose. RC@Rhone said that at Sh.200 per day, the tax would bring in Sh.720bn per year yet “all the developments” would still be funded by loans.

Mercy Musinguzi wanted to know why it was the old man with a hat to clarify. Was the tax 1% or 0.5%?

Mark Muyobo repeats the point that people would not mind paying the taxes if the tax money was well used.

Leonard Lubwama, using luganda, wondered why he should travel to collect money when he can get it on phone.
Premaz Kirabo Mayega was for scraping the tax.

Tusime Peter wonders what will happen to those who had paid the 1%. George Mugwanja said tax should be simple and easily collected.
Henry Othieno wonders why we do not tax the multinationals. Hackim Niwazy, commends my message but informs me that
they are taxing mere deposits.

I have been following up all these issues for a long time. We are sure our President reads even this one is reading it and the officers will not abandon their duty again.
