"content": "“For a Nation to try and tax itself into prosperity, it is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.” What has been happening in this county, as was clearly demonstrated through the submissions of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) to the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget, is that this Parliament is the one that deals with the budgetary allocation. We are the ones who have been failing in our job because when you look at the observations by the Committee, it was observed that there is a lot of money that we have borrowed yet we have not even been able to disburse it, so as to pay what we borrowed. This leads to more taxation because whether or not you disburse the money that you borrow or keep in a bank, you are still required to service that loan."
