No one was asking for a reduction in price of kerosene or other items. They could have left it at the same prices and stopped the VAT.

No use of reducing this and that people need a way of earning to spend on those essentials so find a way to boost the economy reducing price is not an option but can help little via DM Android App

People used to hook shrimp to catch the shark.What price hike is on the card to satisfy the IMF?

What are the chances that within the next three months you will wake up to find that all or most items on which taxes were reduced have been increased?. However the tax increases will remain.

I think all cynics in this country should think positive. At least better to start from this point. This budget has covered major areas. What should be done is, eliminate points that seem impractical and make sure the rest is implementaed
