Cost of services

WHILE the reduction in import duty will bring the cost of goods down, there is a need to also review the cost of our services as both impact on the cost of doing business.

Also on the cost of living. Otherwise we’ll be addressing only one side of the problem. The charges for some of our services have skyrocketed in the recent years and are disproportionate to the cost incurred in the delivery of those services mainly because of lack of competition. Let’s not forget that all these costs are eventually passed on to the consumers.
