This was a good conversation Caroline
Talking of loss of jobs I’m a victim,I can surely tell you the water bottling companies were greatly affected,imagine an excise duty of 5.72/= for every little of water that you sell and you’ve already purchased the stamps on cash basis
As though that was not enough,they imposed 10% excise on the suppliers of the plastic bottles that we were using where in turn the manufactures of those raw materials also increased the cost of their supplies
We tried to increase our prices and pass the burden to the consumers but the market reception was poor…we pushed for 1 year and it became unbearable hence we had to close the company rendering so many employees jobless
It will soon be be cheaper to import similar goods and bribe your way through panya routes
