Revenue income and expenditures
Our government's revenue income is small and revenue expenditure is colossal. We do not cut our coat according to out cloth. We take more foreign loans every year at the cost of our people.
We observe and find lavish and luxuriant expenditures on the following matters without any accountability and transparency:-
i) Purchase, repair, maintenance and POL of government transports, payment of salary and overtime allowance to car drivers. There is rampant misuse of govt. transports, fictitious and false entries in the Car Log Books.
ii) Frequent tours of ministers and top govt officials to foreign countries without any significant result, political, economic and financial benefit or gain.
iii) Installations of air-conditioners, electric generators and IPS in the offices and residential houses of ministers and top govt. officials. Payment of a huge amount of electricity and telephone bills from our public exchequer.
We feel and humbly request our political leaders, irrespective of govt. and opposition, top govt officials, VIPs and all rich persons to observe austerity, keeping in mind the socio-economic condition and poor standard of living of our majority people.
