Maximise revenue collection – RAP
THERE is need for Government to maximise the collection of taxes from mobile phone service providers by sealing all loopholes that lead to tax inversion, Reasoning Assurance Party (RAP) leader Charles Ngesa has said.
He said once his party was voted into office next year, the first act in office was to raise K1, 614.54 billion annually from mobile companies for fusion in the economy.
He said while other opposition parties in the country were opposing everything the ruling party was doing, his party was going continue offering alternative solution to the challenges the country was faced with.
Mr Ngesa said his party believed in round table discussions to find solutions as opposed to always insulting those in power.
He said the country was in heavy debt which had the potential to compromise its territorial integrity hence the need for all right thinking Zambians to come together to find a lasting solution to the debt question.
Mr Ngesa said the contracted debt has distorted the image of Zambia and that the only way to come out of the situation was for Zambians to come together and take a common stand on the debt crisis.
He claimed the Zambian Government offered land as surety on all loans borrowed from China and that since the country was in default, risk losing the land to the Chinese Government.
“The definite way is to look for money and pay the debts to the Chinese Commercial Banks who we owe money. This can only be achieved by Zambians themselves by putting their heads to and fall on a political party that can navigate into the matter of Zambia raising K1, 614.54 billion annually.
