    "content": "The Coronavirus pandemic has affected small and big economies. Firstly, we are talking from that baseline. So, it is important to note that this is a disaster that has befallen the world. As the leaders in this country, we have to come up with measures to help the country move forward. It is debatable whether people, companies or businesses which enjoyed those reliefs passed them to the people. The Value Added Tax (VAT) was reduced from 16 per cent to 14 per cent. Can we discuss the trickle-down effect? Did that money really go to the poor people in the country? Did the people benefit? Did the cost of unga and mafuta go down? The answer is no. So, we are just benefitting traders who are getting tax relief and keeping the money for themselves. The Government does not have any money to use for its operations."
